You cut your steerer with a hacksaw ..

Not really.
I use the utterly unbelievable system of a $20 hack saw and a Park Tools steerer cutting guide (the expensive one) and it takes a whopping 3 minutes to cut.
Even harder to fathom is the duplicity of the guide (and hacksaw): you cn even cut seatposts down as well!

davo808 - how long until the Tazer thread?!
