Most any frame builder who is comfortable also making stems can make you that stem. Off the top of my head I'd ask Mitch Pryor, Brian Chapman or Eric Estlund of Winter Cycles. Both routinely make very nice quill stems for their bikes, but I'm not sure if they'd do one-offs for another bike. Jef

Why not just use a technomic and get a regular 26.0 clamp sized handle bar? Im curious. Im assuming that you are talking about a stem that has a 22.2 quil and a 31.8 bar clamp for tgreaded steerer. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" g

most builders charge a bunch of cash for a custom stem. these guys http://ticycles.com/TCF/hardware.html do a powder coated tig stem for $195. Plating adds a bunch of $$. ~mike Carlsbad Ca On Wednesday, March 16, 2016 at 12:50:58 PM UTC-7, Philip Kim wrote: > > Looking for a 31.8 quill

One thought: perhaps go with the stem adapter (e.g., Nitto makes some; I've also seen on Soma website) to use threadless stem? Good luck! shoji On Wednesday, March 16, 2016 at 3:50:58 PM UTC-4, Philip Kim wrote: > > Looking for a 31.8 quill stem. I saw the NItto UI-12, but am afraid with > onl

Yes, I've seen these. Almost looks like they bent the metal and welded it at the bottom of the fold? The reach is a bit too long, and I've heard lukewarm reviews, mostly aesthetically positive, but not much in quality. Thanks Matt for the recommendation, Winter might be too expensive, but I co

I assume you've seen the Factory 5 stems that came out last winter, https://wearefactoryfive.com/products/f5-titan-stem? A friend bought one, finish was generally "ok" with a couple of very rough spots they missed polishing or had a bad cast. That's disappointing in a $100 part, but *much* chea

Though you did not specify how much higher you need, nevertheless I take it you are aware that the UI-12 stem comes in both 72d and 90d options and even the 90d would not be tall enough ? The VO quill adapter(also made by Genetic) btw to me is a good choice as it has a flange that prevents an
