I got some new handlebars and a new Nitto Young 3 stem. Unfortunately, the bars are 26.0m and the stem is 25.4mm, so I need to change one or the other. Nitro’s catalog says their 26.0mm stems are...

Why did you replace the fork? Which size tires were you running? I’m hoping to keep the fork as it is one of the distinguishing characteristics of this bike. I understand as soon as it gets bent, it...

I was told it’s a 56cm. All the lettering is yellow. I think that means it is a 1993, based on looking at old catalogs; I’d love to be corrected if I’m wrong about this inference. I cannot post phots...
