Finally bit the bullet and took my mt bike into a shop. Everything snowballed. First the little higher handlebars with a little "V", new fork as the old one was shot, new stem as the new fork would not fit on the old stem. Not sure what they did to get the nut loose to get the fork off. New cables, baskets for the pedals, air, I'm rolling. $142 with labor, did good. Still need to see if this will be enough to give my neck a break. Went for a short ride both Saturday and Sunday. Saturdays ride was only 2 mile round trip to the Post Office, all I had was some seeds, not my new cuben bp.:(
