• Question for you all: I have a Nitto Pearl, but I can't slam it as the headtube of my frame is just 10 cm. So it stops and still sticks out quite a bit.

    Are there any lovely looking stems with a short height for smaller frames? Just wondering, perhaps it's just the way it is.

    (the occasional cut stem comes up on NJS sellers but...that's about it)

    Below new frame...used 14bike co, but build by Lee Cooper and going to be the little sibling to my Thorn, also built by him. Nitto and Sugino Mighty parts waiting.

    Now...who would like a 49*53 531C Gazelle Piste 1998 with nice pantos...? ;)

  • had the exact same problem on my lee cooper and ended up getting a cut stem

  • very nice.. are the stays tapered too?

    regarding the stem, get "le manfriend" as you put it to hacksawing indeed. do it carefully but should work.
