£72.90 seems very expensive for a shiny but heavy steel stem with no bolts?

Stem lengths would be a good detail to include.
I will measure everything tomorrow and add the info.

Prices are in euro, not pounds. So not 72.90 pounds, but 72,90 euro. That's 62 pounds. I may have some extra bolts laying around.

Lengths added.
my bad, didn't realise these were so sought after!

I think I priced them reasonably according to the recent auctions I saw.. If they don't sell here I'll take them to eBay.
er,the one at 60 euros (flawless) appears to be rather badly flawed where the bar pinch bolt passes through....
That's machine cutout for the bolt to fit.

They're a lot of money, but some people like steel stems. Sold my Il Milano late 50s (english, made by holdsworth I think) to a dealer for £40, god knows what he'd charge for it.
I have a 50s GB Kromo on my track bike, and a 90s 531 Salsa in my road bike. It's because of the raw power I put through these machines, alloy just isn't sufficient. * insert irony face *

any vintage steel stems are going to set you back more than a few dorrah's!

I understand the purpose of the cutout,it's just that this one appears to be cut all the way through rather than just "notched",i have two titan luxe stems but they are not cut all the way through as this one is.Maybe i am wrong but think it should be like this one below.I think someone has been over keen when trying to undo a tight bolt and snapped it at the weak point when the lug has rotated.Result-buggered stem that needs welding.

I understand what you mean now. I didn't notice it yesterday, only now when I took a closer look at it. I have withdrawn #1 from sale.

No worries,if you come across any more that length i'd be interested if they were clean enough not to need re-chroming :)
It's probably not a big deal to still use it, but I'll keep that one for my own use. I do have some more Titan stems (and bars), but not of that length unfortunately.

I'm going to put these on eBay, one by one.
