FOUND: Velo Orange Happy Stem, hopefully silver

On the hunt for one of those ugly/beautiful a-head high rise stems, 90 or 110 should be fine. Anyone bought one and hate it? Save me buying a new one for £40, for a beater bike.

Silver preferred but heyho beggars can’t be choosers.

I've been using one on various bikes and love it.

They are pretty scarce in used condition. I'd say swallow the cost of a new one now before hyperinflation or zero availability

Or if you do find a used black one in 90 can trade for silver

Thanks for the tips birthday boy! It's not kerazy money.

Freshtripe only have 110 in Silver. Might just get the black in 90mm and swap with you at some point. I probably should go shorter as 110 is bound to make the reach too long. Previous owner of my new Yates audax chopped the steerer pretty short, saw a photo of it longer and went 'gahhh, wish they hadn't'

before hyperinflation

yikes

I think VO are out of stock, maybe an adjustable, if looking for even fuglier one for a beater set of wheels ?

New Yates? Do tell

maybe an adjustable

Jesus, I said beater, not a purgatory-mobile.

Bit fugly. Possibly a bit small. But rides nicely, all seems to work well so going to ride as is (except stem) for now.

Ended up buying a black 90mm. If I really can't cope with a black one I'll post it to you with all those other things I need to post you!

Ah yes, I saw this and considered it myself. Good price for a full bike.

Rode to Eastbourne on it y’day, it’s been really good to ride. Fit is def on the small side but with a stupid stem I think it’ll be about right.
