Again, Jon gets credit for a very thoughtful setup. I've changed the contact points: saddle, bars, stem and pedals and the big ring.
As an aside, @
jonwvara, do you remember if the Technomics you had on that bike had been machined to fit the French steerer? That is one long stem! Maybe a 120?
Yes, I think it it a 120 stem. I sanded it down to 22.0, using medium-grit emery cloth and turning, wrapping the cloth around the stem and turning the stem around and around. The secret to a neat job is to mask off the area above where you plan to sand with tape, so you get a clean line.
