Think your mistaking bullying with an opinion..
If I chip in, I explain why:
I didn’t like this stem because I don’t agree with grinding quarter inch off.
Didn’t like the Senior pro turning into a Turbo, or polishing  dropouts wafer thin to rid them of washer marks.

Also sick of seeing endless pics of polishing mops

[pickle]

by the way mister scary leary can you tell me and probaly many others what method you would have used on the stem  please

[ozone]

i think j.t sums it up perfectly...........

its always the same 3 that go after the next victim......

and funny as they have all posted on this thread.. 

£500 is alot for a stem  what about earning money from the community...thought it wasnt allowed! 

stick to SR stems they are cheaper and keep  the sly comments and remarks to yourselves. Best for the community.

Nick, you need to switch the CAPS LOCK on if you are going post stuff using BamBam's account.

[tigerbrown]

what is the big deal with this fookin stem ? neil took what was a pretty shagged stem and re-finished it the way that he wanted to , if he chooses to polish his tackle then surely it is his business  i agree with some of the comments regarding his resto work and yes , the stem could have been repaired by welding and filling the dents with alloy to restore it to a more original finish but at the end of the day this is neils choice surely . i do feel that he is getting a bit of a raw deal from certain members which i think is unfair .

it always amazes me that he can turn around his projects so fast ( mine seem to take forever ) but this just shows what passion he has for his hobby . if we all built our bikes to original spec then they would all look the same , where's the fun in that ? dont get me wrong , i love to see a factory spec bike which is perfect down to the last detail but some of the parts are difficult or impossible to find .

i say keep doing what you want neil , build them the way you want them as at the end of the day it is all down to personal choice what parts and what finish / colour you use .

love him or loathe him , he certainly has a passion for bmx and that's what is important . i met him briefly at mk and he seems to be a nice guy , though i never saw his ball sack and think my life will be richer for that !

[HUTCHMAN]

i feel sure Neil did it this way, because he wanted it this way. He no doubt knows the square edges could be achieved with wet and dry on a flat plate,sanding the stem back and forth. I'm in the middle of doing an old DK stem. The edges are so sharp you could shave with it!!

[scary_leary]

Ffs elvis i might not be as active as i once was but you’re not the first to polish bmx parts. My parents have a old lighting business so ive sent many hours on a machine polisher.
I was using translucent powercoat 5years ago, ive done bikes in all colours, replacing crossbars, dyeing and recovering seats.. getting shit for posting a “how to de-anodize” picture thread without the correct gloves. I even won os-bmx bike of the year in 2004.
I only gave my honest opinion, sorry for not sucking your c0ck like the rest.

[Moose]

Some with think it's a rescued stem, other will think it's ruined. If you post something on an open forum then you must be prepared for differing opinions to yours - If you don't like criticism, don't leave yourself open to it (ie don't post it).

The correct method would be to alloy weld fill and machine back.. by a "professional"

THIS THREAD IS NOT ABOUT THE FOOKING STEM, SO STOP PRETENDING IT IS.

FFS.

hide behind purism all you want, i think the root of this has been dragged clearly to the surface, and hopefully, once it dies down, will reflect positvely on us moving forward?

or not...

its like old ravers, sitting in the corner, moaning like it aint how it used to be..

know what i mean?

[scary_leary]

 but this just shows what passion he has for his hobby .

 

Does he fook.. he loves all the attention and all the money his quick builds bring..
One mintue its his childhood dream build the next its on ebay, one minute its on the wall (while he take an attention photo).. the next its stripped n sold.

He even says "who wants first dib dobs before ebay" when its already been listed and retracted from fookin ebay!

Please don't pm me again calling me out.

[Jt]

the truth outs.

[dannywhiteley]

Its not like its a historical artifact thats been defaced by vandals, its an old BMX stem that was banged up to fook and now its nice and shiny.
