Found one 👍

For my GT I'm looking for a flip flop stem:
Must include quill adapter for threaded forks.
1 1/8" and about 130mm length.
Black or silver/chrome preferably.

A classic GT quill stem with internal cable routing would work, too. Same dimensions and colors.

There ist also the later version GT alloy flip flop III stem. But as far as I know it only works with ahead forks. No longer a quill adapter included.

yes, they were introduced in 1993 with the introduction of the new Aheadset. It all depends on how period correct you want your build to be.
I am after a flip flop stem for my 1992 GT Bravado myself. This would be the Flip Flop stem II, which would be a much slimmer version than the first one.
 
The frame is a 95 Psyclone but the Bologna lite fork is threaded.
I actually got a flip flop 3 stem here but I like the look of the older one more.

Is there a weight difference between version 1 and 2?

Hey 🙋‍♀️

What's the difference between 1,2 and 3?
Three is the ahead wedge Version?

Got a 91" flip flop which is very round
-i noticed there is also a "squeezed" oval one 🤔
 
GT ist not always consistent with their product names.
Here is how I understand it:

flip flop stem (or flip flop I stem)
-> the beefy one

more details (same catalogue):

flip flop II stem
-> the squashed one

GT_flip_flop_II_stem_92_catalogue.png
(from 92 GT catalogue) -> the white/black one "J"

GT flip flop III stem (for ahead system)
-> no longer with quill adapter
also GT alloy stem (the aluminium version)

(from 94 GT catalogue)

GT_alloy_flip_flop_stem_94_catalogue.png
(from 94 GT catalogue, too) -> flip flop III stem in black here and polished alloy stem below

GT_alloy_stem_93_catalogue.png
(from 93 GT catalogue) this one looks like the steel stem (flip flop III) not the alloy stem like the text suggests
