WTB: quill stem

Does anyone have a quill stem that they are looking to get rid of? I'm looking for something like an 80mm Technomic Deluxe with a 26.0mm clamp. Doesn't have to be a Tech Dlx, but about the same height would be good., and it must be 26.0. The existing stem on the bike has the right extension but is a 25.4 clamp; I have a Tech Dlx that is taller, but at 110mm it's too long for the rider.

thanks,

David

Did you try installing the 26.0 bar in the 25.4 clamp? I've done that a number of times and never had any problems. Just be careful during installation not to scratch the bars.

Yes, and it just wouldn't go. Even when I pried the clamp apart, it wouldn't fit, and was starting to scratch the sleeve pretty badly.

David, I have this: Nitto Technomic long quill stem, (26.0) 72d x 70 silver.

Surplus to my needs. Please let me know either way. It'll require locating.

Gerry,

That would be just about right, I think. Sorry it took me so long to reply. What do you want for it?

David
