so i got bored yesterday and hacked off a section of the Bianchi Volpe’s steerer tube. i was actually really hesitant to do it, but the positioning felt good and i was, as i said before, bored. thankfully though i had a bit of forethought as to potential re-positioning, so i added another 5mm spacer under the stem just for safety sake.

but hell, that’s a lot of spacers!!!

    oh, i use a pipe cutter to cut my steerer’s, it takes awhile but it gives a perfect cut. you just have to file down the rough bits and you’re set.
