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

If so, say how much you would want for it. Alternatively I

stem that is on the bike. It
