Good day. I'm after a stem for my bicycle. 1 inch quill 5 inches or so of reach. What have you got? Oh and it must be silver.

cheers.

Any good?

I think they were a bit too modern looking for what I'm after. Is it the one that tapers towards the bars?

How about this?

Though it's the right shape, don't think it's a Cinelli, isn't marked Cinelli, think it might have been made by Ambrosio. Seems to be exactly 5" (127mm) long, which is a bit surprising as I'd have expected it to be sized in metric not imperial. What do you think?

I think with a beer can shim that will hold my bars at just the right distance from my saddle. How much?

eeehhhh

Have you tried BLB? They had loads in their cabinet last Friday. I heard a member of staff say to a customer that some were titanium, so there's the opportunity to go bling bling.

It cost me £25 with a set of track bars I needed, so is half this, £12.50, for the stem fair/reasonable?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
