Sold Grove Innovations HOTHEAD vintage mountain bike handlebar stem 1"

[ylwgto]

I am selling a rare Grove Innovations HOTHEAD handlebar stem combo. Made by Bill Grove in the early 90s in PA.

The HOTHEAD is the lighter weight, thin wall heat treated True Temper version of the HAMMERHEAD. Included is the double wedge quill for 1" steerer tubes. The fluorescent yellow splatter is peak 90s!

This is in vintage, ridden condition. There are no bends or cracks. Scuffing, chips and scratches are present, but the paint is in overall good shape for the age of this bar. Some minor surface rust is present that could be tidied up. Some fading in places. Some bubbling under the paint in places (around cable stop). Most of the scuffed areas will be covered by grips and shifter/brake levers. No deformation at the bar end openings. Decal wear as pictured (the first part of the HOTHEAD decal came off and is included if you wish to reapply). Please view pics very closely for condition.

22" wide
145mm stem length
approx. 10 degree rise
1" double quill
