hey,
I've recently been renovating a bike that has been sitting in my garden for quite some time. On a closer inspection I could see that some of the welds had warn and that the stem had bent. I removed the bolt from the top of the handle bars and was unable to remove the handle bars. Knowing that I didn't need the stem I resorted to sawing it in half,
I then found another set of handle bars and forks on another bike that are the same size as the ones I had sawn off, so I cut them from the other bike,

I went to remove the handle bars to slot the stem through my bike frame but yet I am faced with the same problem. I've removed the allen bolt from the top of the handle bars and loosened the nuts on the stem but I cant remove the handlebars,
I honestly don't know what to do... :/
