Whoa, I just saw that Nat flagged this first; Ta, Nat! Thanks, Zach, this one is the likeliest yet when I plug the variables into JimG’s stem comparator. I don’t care for the little column nub rising above the extension, nor the single-bolt, non-detachable clamp, but I can live with those if the rise ’n’ reach are right. And it’s reasonably priced as things go now.
No need to test with compact bars, tho’ thanks for the offer. I’ve gotten 26.4 mm Cinelli Giro d'Italias into 25.4 Tioga T-bones with broad, square clamps using the penny method — steel can endure a great deal of abuse — and I daresay I can get the compacts into this thing if I stick with those, tho’ I think eventually I’ll rebuild with friction + silver and install proper Maes Parallels.
