I'd like a slight rise or at least no drop. I have a couple different bars
I want to try and one of them is the VO Klunker, thus the faceplate stem
request. Yes, 25.4 clamp, thanks for asking.
I'm aware that the older Salsa stems don't have a very long quill. I'm not
looking for a dirt drop stem. I recall there was a recall, yes. It doesn't
have to be a Salsa, I just put that out there as an example.
I know quite a few folks on here have a parts box they're sometimes looking
to thin out. I have a couple of Technomic stems, for example, that I
probably should get rid of, but I wouldn't think of them unless someone was
looking for one. So I figured I'd ask before going the usual C-list, Eboy,
or retail route.
So, if anyone out there has a longish 1" quill stem for sale, email please.
