• Black quill stems in 26.0:
    Nitto Dynamic
    Nitto Pearl (hard to find in black)
    Kalloy / Zenith (as far as I can tell it's the unbranded version of Gran Compe / BLB / Acor, etc)
    Simworks (I think the 'tomato' one is 26.0)

    Then vintage stuff (try Hilary Stone, ebay):

    Cinelli XA, 1A, frog, etc (or any of their 26.4 stems with a shim)
    3ttt and ITM did black stems too but I don't remember the names.

    26.0 compact drops:

    My vote would be for Deda Piega as they're the lightest and the cheapest... but the finish on the Nitto's is much better.

  • outstanding, thank you !

    been a while since I pieced together a bike and I know there's lots of little compatibility pratfalls - hoping I can avoid most of those this time round.
