Thanks!

The stem fits in a galvanized pipe that screws into the pipe flange that is attached to the wall. The spacer nut on the stem that is normally used to secure it to the fork works just as well in the right sized pipe! I added a little bit of extra stability by drilling a hole through the pipe and putting a pin through the pipe and the stem, but it shouldn't need it unless the bike is really back heavy.I just wanted to add that the bike is a Motobecane Super Mirage. I must have forgotten to put that in the "model" field.

Hope you are able to get your bike returned ... but want to comment on the clever means of hanging the bike off of the wall.  Very nice.  If I may ask, how is the stem connected to the wall plate?
