Really like it
I did prefer the original stem, maybe not such a comfortable ride though and we all like a comfortable ride

Nice build. One item to check. I worked in a bike shop when these frames came out in 91. Yeah, we all got one at employee discount. Sweet bike. I really liked it and it hooked me on E-stays. Many, if not most, of the ariels cracked. I cracked mine on the Porcupine Rim Trail in Moab, Utah (USA )They would crack where the wishbone stay meets the seat tube around the weld. It worked out well for me as I was able to get an all aluminum Alien upgrade from Nishiki. Still have and ride the Alien.
