I’m not arguing against that. But the stem has had no alterations since the initial build, they just didn’t put stainless bolts in.

strong text My bars were obviously not in that position on purpose, they had slipped and I was holding them in place whilst taking it easy for the remaining 6 miles of the 10.
They slipped as a result of the stem bolts rusting and NOT because of the mechanical failings of either my dad or myself.
As to the heads down comments, I generally ride heads up but put my head down intermittently as I struggle to keep my head in one position without getting neck ache and so the down position stretches it. My dad is the same; but neither do it for extended periods of time
Rust in the bolts will weaken the whole bolt structure so the bars wouldn’t have been held as securely
