Stem for the fixie

Well, the last couple weeks have been kinda slow waiting for parts and the new fixture. The fixture showed up last week Wednesday and it is Sweet! Thanks to Don and the guys at Anvil, you make a damn nice piece of equipment.

I got the stem kit in today for the stainless fixie I built a couple weeks ago. I cut the stem lugs to match, here's a few photos of the process.
