Wanted: short reach quill stem, randonneur bars (or similar)

I'm considering pulling the trigger on a Nitto 50mm technomic stem and 42cm Randonneur bars for my tourer. Anyone got these or similar knocking about before I buy new stuff? Also would consider the dirt drop riser stem or RM-013 dirt drop bars. Either the geometry on my tourer is weird, or I have little arms, so a 50mm stem is ideal, <70mm could work though.

Have a no name 70mm quill you can have for £5. Also got a (vintage?) nitto olympiade b115, measures roughly 42cm top and flare out to 45cm bottom

Interested! Would you mind sending me pics? And how much would you want for the bars?

You can have the whole set for £15

Sounds great! DMing you

Bumping this as I've tried the (very lovely) bars & stem offered above for a few weeks and reluctantly decided I still need less reach and more height.

The bars above have 115mm reach and 145mm drop, so if anyone has a more compact set of bars, 50/60mm quill stem with decent height, or both, I'd be interested

Ideally, I'm looking for a combination of nitto randonneur bars and a nitto 50mm tallux stem, but probably a long shot finding those for cheap or second hand!

Gotta do some digging in the garage but I think I have a set of these with a matching 60mm Kalloy tall quill stem... will let you know tonight what I find!

Ooooh, they could be ideal - cheers! Yeah defo let me know what turns up

So I’ve got the bars as I thought - lots of residual bar tape etc but sound. 42cm

The stem is the tall one but it’s 80mm - may not be any good!

Sounds good. I guess even with the 80mm stem that's still about 30mm less reach so probs worth trying the stem as well! Will DM you
