The production quality and pacing is also top notch! I hope you get piles of recognition for what you've built here.

If you're not worried about damaging the stem you could also try mounting it in a vice clamp to get more leverage on the fork.

I am having a problem removing my quill stem. Do you have any advice for dealing with a seized/stuck quill stem? I've read everything from whacking it with a hammer, to soaking it in penetrating oil/ammonia/coca cola. Thanks for any help.
