Wanted: Quill stem with 25.4 clamp

Posted on
  • Yo yo yo.
    Been building up my first vintage beater bike for a mate.

    Broke the stem trying to pull out the drop bars (couldn't slide them out as the levers were unremovable!)

    Anyone able to donate a quill stem with 25.4 clamp please?
    The stem that I broke was 11cm from minimum insertion line to the top, but I'm not really bothered about length/extension/angle. Beggars can't be choosers. Hope that's all the info I need to give...

    If you want you can have the bastard drops with the irremovable old levers as a swap. They'd also need a clean.

    Much appreciated, I'm in Hatton Garden by day and Hackney by evening

  • 25.4 is what you are after

  • I've got a nice Salsa vinatge quill stem, 25.4mm. You can have it if you donate me £15!

  • What length do you need?

  • hehe, cheers. I've always had trouble with the numbers 4 and 5, since I was a wee nipper.

    Also, as rocksteady has pointed out, I haven't specified what length stem I need so will have to measure it this evening. will upate this post then.

  • bump - added stem length as 11cm, but it doesn't really matter. Just after cheapo/freebie stem if anyone has one going

  • I've got a 12 cm black one you can have for free. I'll dig it out tonight.

  • Cool, thanks andyp....is there anything you might want to swap? I have a black 3TTT 12cm ahead-stem, to fit 1 1/8 steerer and 26 clamp size (I think) if you wants that.

    Trying to think what else I have lying about... got some 31.8 OS raceface bars too.

    Cheers dude, hope you can find the stem!

  • hey Tash, if you dont get 1 from Andyp ive got 1 in silver you can have for free, think its 11cm (maybe10cm)

  • Ooh, I would prefer silver actually...what would be the correct etiquette on here for this?! andyp would you mind if I took geordieboy's instead of yours? geordieboy, where are you based?

    I don't wanna be rude :)

  • I'm offering you a stem for free. Should you choose to take it or not is totally up to you and will not see any social faux pas being committed.

    Aesthetics should always inform a decision too. :-)

  • hi, Tash i live in Deptford se8, but ill be in central thursday and friday during the day if thats better
