Hi, I'm looking for a cheap (less that £30) lightweight quill stem to fit on a vintage "weight weenie" Peugeot Perthus project.
The lighter the better, titanium stems like the Cinelli Grammo, ITM Krystal, 3T Pro, Titec, Titan Acor, Ibis, Litespeed... usually weigh from 188-220 grams
The lightest alloy stem that I have identified is the ControlTech Road stem at 234 grams for 120mm.
Maybe there are others that weigh less but another consideration is the girth, the Peugeot's 753 top tube is about an inch - 26mm in diameter, stems thicker than that don't suit the bike.
I don't want to pay silly Ebay prices and I'm not bothered about how good the stickers/logos/graphics look, I'll polish them away if they look rough.
