Do people here generally say to avoid those Sunlite adjustable quill stems? Amazon has it listed for $10 when a regular Sunlite quill stem is $20, just looking to spend as little as I can on the bike.
the early 90s specialized had some crazy long stems- my ~93 rockhopper was the same. I am not a fan of adjustable- this one is only $11.43
