Re: Stem
Yes that amazes me too, the BB wear of newer stuff. I bought 2 bikes (95/96) from the first owner, both with the original BB in there. Spinning smooth as new!

As for modern parts working, they do, but not for very long! They are also heavy and very Ugly in the extreme, modern BB's will only last a tenth of a Shimano Sq taper at best, I'm not trying to rubbish the build, just feel you would get so much more out of it with full on retro!
