Does anyone still make a 1" ahead stem? I have searched and searched but i cant find anything.

Alternatively does anyone have a secondhand one?

I have a ITM "The big one" ahead which I have no use of which you can have for a fiver? 100mm length me thinks.

Looks like so:

Check Planet X, they usually have some NOS. Or shim

I've got a 1 1/8th stem on a 1" fork with a shim, works fine.

^ ugly, but functional

how can it be ugly when you can't see the shim?

^ exactly.

unless there's a reason you want something more period.

I'd go to ebay and look for NOS stuff, or BLB.

^^ The same reason that people buy faux quill ahead stems. It suits the fame better. Admittedly a skinnier stem is going to be weaker/ flex more but aesthetically it's going to be so much better.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
