That Stella was a basket case disaster, down to the stuck stem with 7mm stem bolts. Somebody else had a thread about one awhile back that was a pain, and I could totally relate.
Thought of your post today as I was ghost riding two miles in boston traffic to sell a fixie. Ghost riding a fixie is possibly more dangerous than ghost riding a normal bike!! I didn't get hurt, but I didn't like it! The bike wasn't selling, so I was getting desperate - prepared to deliver it a short distance for a buyer that was actually willing to show up!
Of course, I had that rap song "ghost ride the whip" by Mistah Fab stuck in my head the whole way as well. Great for my focus.
On a longer ghost ride, when I was in my 20s, I had to go across a drawbridge with the metal grates and lost traction on the ghostridden bike which then crashed into me bringing us both down (me and Casper that is). Both bikes got flat front tires, I think from pinching on the grates as they bound against each other, and I was somewhat banged up and bruised.
