Is the paint finish smooth or that shot peen finish? also I am after a plain black stem so do you think I would be able to polish off the Bontrager decal or is it laser etched?
You're probably right, but have you tried to find a quality plain black stem with 1" quill these days? - rocking horse doo-doo, thats all I can say.
I know, I know, I would'nt hurt to have the Bonty decal on there but I guess I'm quite anal about these things :?
