They were offered with the old tig welded versions, consider them the premium version, due to the more labor intensive (and beautiful) fillet brazed construction. Functionally the same as the (not very) old tig faceplaters. They differ from the 90-190 as they have a more upright angle and a longer quill. Significant difference in the ability to get the bars up high.
If you don't like yours, I'd consider purchasing it depending on what length it is. :) On Saturday, February 21, 2026 at 8:49:06 AM UTC-8 Bryan H wrote: > Anyone know the history of these stems?
