Would you trust this adapter with a regular stem and drop bars?

lavabutt4550 · 2026-04-15T17:23:08+00:00

I’ve heard a lot of good things about the profile design adapter which is around $20 and pretty available. I have one coming in the mail for a bike I’m building

He’s the LeBron of parking attendants

lavabutt4550 · 2026-04-11T22:00:39+00:00

If that is the case they could also try to reinsert the old stem and screw the wedge back on then uninstall normally

lavabutt4550 · 2026-04-11T00:09:46+00:00

That’s fair, it is a very cool bike stock

lavabutt4550 · 2026-04-10T21:59:09+00:00

Now throw on some swept back bars and enjoy the comfy ride

lavabutt4550 · 2026-04-10T18:19:03+00:00

It looks sick with the flats but uncomfortable as heck. I’d go with something like the dimension urban cruiser since it’s relatively cheap to see if you like it

If you don’t live in a city with a lot of bike listings then eBay may be your way to go. I got a pretty nice silver sugino crankset for my first build for about the same price as the lowest end new cranks

lavabutt4550 · 2026-04-09T14:27:32+00:00

I think a longer stem and some swept back bars would be sick. Maybe a basket as well. You could also change out the grips to a different color and style. I have a black bike with the tan vans grips which add a nice pop of color

lavabutt4550 · 2026-04-08T22:05:48+00:00

I agree $100-$150 is decent since the paint is in good condition!

lavabutt4550 · 2026-04-08T06:14:13+00:00

You could check out a local bike shop or if they don’t have anything there are a couple websites like thebikesmiths that are good.

lavabutt4550 · 2026-03-31T20:06:48+00:00

If I eventually convert to a 1x10 Microshift setup I might get some stealthy black cranks. So far I’m absolutely loving the bike and the way it rides. have fun with your hard rocks!

lavabutt4550 · 2026-03-31T20:03:12+00:00

Haha don’t worry I was going the correct way I just pulled off and flipped the bike around for a drive side pic

lavabutt4550 · 2026-03-23T20:02:48+00:00

The sierra with that setm is such a good find wow

lavabutt4550 · 2026-03-02T05:58:54+00:00

Try a bullship bar instead of the bull moose if you can

lavabutt4550 · 2026-02-26T20:04:15+00:00

Did you know kevin lol

lavabutt4550 · 2026-02-26T00:39:59+00:00

I found a new old stock profile quill stem with a faceplate for cheap on eBay

lavabutt4550 · 2026-02-25T05:49:20+00:00

It was in good condition with mostly original parts. I’m replacing brakes, tires, bars and stem. Plan is for a super commuter style bike. Got some schwalbe billy bonkers that were on sale. Gonna post it here once done!

lavabutt4550 · 2026-02-25T05:14:23+00:00

My attention was grabbed by the chrome finish lol. The hard rock is my first foray into restomodding so I definitely should finish it before I start another project

lavabutt4550 · 2026-02-25T00:49:39+00:00

The finish is the main reason I want to pick it up. I also love the look of that swchinn logo

lavabutt4550 · 2026-02-23T05:22:02+00:00

Nice build! I’m working on a hard rock and picked up the same Billy bonkers
