@Crunty
eh?
Using a convertor wouldn't necessarily solve the problem I had that the stem wouldn't bind into the steerer tube securely enough. I also got sick of adjusting the headset. It wasn't for me. The steering felt like cack when it was adjusted properly and felt good to ride when it was dangerously loose.
The bike needed new paint to continue on living anyway. It was flaking off at a rate of knots.
I'm updating something old that hopefully will stay with me for a very long time. Hopefully there will be no real compromises like there was before.
