  1. I need to raise the handlebars of my mountain bike by
    about 9cm and shorten the reach by about the same. Does
    anybody have in their bits box a long quill stem with very
    little reach that would fit a mountain bike's 1" 25.4mm
    threaded forks?

    If so, say how much you would want for it. Alternatively I
    could swap for the rather nice stainless steel Zoom quill
    stem that is on the bike. It is short so has no upward
    adjustment; reach of about 14cm and a rise of about 5cm.

    many thanks

    I have a stumpneck type stem attached to touring handlebars.

    I don't know if they would fit an MTB.

    They would be free to someone who collected them.

    Please email me off the newsgroup.

  3. Perhaps I could have been a bit clearer on this.

    I am looking for a quill stem that positions the bars about
    19cm higher than the headset (I know that is a lot so I will
    probably have to compromise). It needs to be designed for an
    MTB cos MTBs have require of quill of 25.4mm diameter
    whereas a road bikes stem is usually only 22mm or so.

    I have searched the Edinburgh, Gearshift, SJS and Wiggle
    catalogues - without luck. It is mostly all Ahead stuff
    now. I long MTB quill with very little reach is very dated
    which is why I am asking if someone might have one in their
    spares box.

    many thanks
