Mar 22, 2003 4:23 PM | | what kind of stem is that and why don't they use it anymore? sorry for my ignorance, but i've only been into cycling for a year, so i've never owed an older road bike.
thanks,
Frizzled |
| its cool! I am starting to feel old! | the bull
Mar 22, 2003 4:30 PM | | It is a treaded fork it needs a "stem" I guess.
I call the new ones treadless stems!
It is a QUILL stem |
| you're not old- i'm new(ish)! | AFrizzledFry
Mar 22, 2003 6:54 PM | | so, that type of stem is called a "quill" stem- or is that the brand name?
thanks for the responses guys! |
| yes quill is the type - the brand is a 3ttt.nm | the bull

Mar 23, 2003 10:11 AM | | Hi Bull,
Hope u is KK?
Stem looks very much like a Record 84 2 me.
Wacky |

| pretty sure | wackycyd
Mar 24, 2003 6:08 AM | | Looks very much like an 84, if it has a clamp bolt and small a/k grub screw underneath then I'd say it was.
Wacky
Ps, Like the fish!! |

Mar 22, 2003 4:55 PM | | we don't use them any more because, as you can see, it doesn't follow the shortest distance from the fork to the handelbars. |
| The real reason they don't make stems like that is... | Dave Hickey
Mar 22, 2003 5:32 PM | | I's cheaper for manufactures to make a just one fork that has to be cut to length instead of having to thread a fork for every frame size. |
| The real reason they don't make stems like that is... | harry hall
Mar 23, 2003 9:33 AM | | Agreed, and it can be a better system for fitting rider to bike. That's why all these fraudulent new "comfort road bikes" have flat bars--because of the perception, not the reality, that drop bars in and of themselves are less comfortable. As for the French bashing, gee, will I ride the Gitane or the Lejeune today? |
