That Stem,,,
Me likey, me likey.
I was at my mum and dad's house over the weekend and couldn't help but take my old GT for a spin round the block.....
My GT was approx 1990 build and the stem geometry is virtually the same as yours. I had a big grin on my face as I cycled along in my very upright position..! I loved it.
But, need my own"dorkey" stem for my current build project.....
Have you got a spare.....?? Ofcourse not.

Re: That Stem,,,
Thanks for that!
As far as a spare, it took me an age to find this stem in this height with the roller, they get snapped up by the US drop bar fiends for silly money so I was lucky with this. Took me even longer to find the NOS decals so that I could have it resprayed in the green with original decals.
You may have more luck looking for a road (26.0mm) stem as these seem more popular than the 25.4mm one and then using a set of nitto shims to space it for standard MTB bars.
I do remember those GTs with the high riser stems - Outpost?
