That stem, (called a swan neck?) is very much like the one on my old Dawes Wildcat from around 1987.

It's a brand new bike, built twenty-and-a-few years ago:that's why it's so clean.Was a Xmas surprise for my friend,pictures taken at beginning of the bike's first-ever ride...

This kind of "swan-neck" stem is almost a kind of sculpture
