I could not tell if my donor stem was powdercoated or anodized. I tested a spot with aircraft paint stripper and nothing happened. Sprayed it with Easy Off and black sludge formed in minutes.
After the first soak
Another soak and some sanding to remove the painted logo (Performance "Forte").
Buffed out...
The original fork/headset is threaded and the original Atax stem is a drop stem. The intent of this gravel build is to allow a for a more upright riding position in sketchy surfaces. A threadless stem offers a bit more adjustment so, I am using a quill adapter and shim with this stem.
