Hutch Stem Quickie - pics

(1/1)

FuNMoNsTeR:
I just aquired a Hutch stem... western style impressed H, no drill holes and the tubing looks and feels(light) like Titanium. Did the Hutch race stems have Titanium shafts..?
 First time i have owned one ::)

Mattdub:
Don't think so .  :daumenhoch:

FuNMoNsTeR:
Here are some piccys... the chrome has bubbled, oxidised and flaked and i am in the midst of sanding it down for polishing. The stem post has like a black stain... no pitting or rust/oxidation. i would have expected rust if it were chro-moly. The material is the same colour inside the tube as it is outside. The stem weighs approx 11oz without bolts.
Titanium shaft or not?

stuntmaster:
later hutch stem if that the correct top for it anyway
