I was wondering why people were asking me the size as I put it in the title, now I realise the title was cut off, maximum character thing
its 1 1/8 quill, 150mm. i'll weigh it tomorrow. I dont remember it being lite! I certainly didnt get cooks stems for the weight. i'm all about the cosmetics with retro stuff

if it was 1" i would have taken it

i care about lightness aswell as aesthetics, but in this case it wouldn't actually matter . it is by all means the most beautiful stem i've ever seen! i cannot understand why you want to sell something like that! too bad my 93 clockwork is a 1"er. if you know a solution on how to fit a 1 1/8 quill stem into a 1" steerer i'll take it !

ha! yeh i've thought about it but i prefer the ibis, the forks are ahead & the reach would be too much

 

[theboy]

the reach would be too much
