ESP 1"1/8 Stems
gossa:
Gogo is that you fella? Man you rock, how are ya?
Thanks for all the feedback people, 1 stem has been made, OS with quill and expander, it's for Matt Farrow at Hotwheels to finish his Patty rebuild. It looks awesome, if you have an ESP you would notice subtle dfifferences (metric bolts mainly). If I do a small run of these (quilled ones) they will be engraved as repops with a manufacturing date on the shaft, I need to do about twenty but the guys still pricing it up to see if it's viable. The clamp on version is what I want for me and my bikes so i'll keep you posted. I'll whack a picture up.

Clive. Interesting topic, Matt mailed me recently and I just knew there would be a whole debate about this subject. There will always be those individuals who have issues, there will always be those that don't. Looking back in time when I was a lad (OK a younger lad), I never could afford flights, profiles, in fact hardly anything that was not rubber or plastic such as comp 3's, kashimax, a'mes I or rather my parents just could not and would not stretch to it, me and other kids made do with what we had and still had such a blast. My point is, this is an opportunity for those that can't afford the real deal or will be scared to tighten the cap bolts on an OG incase it cracks (Matt take note), ie use it, to actually be part of the parade! So no probs. I do agree that it should vary in some minor detail that is not easily removed just to maintain the originality for the guy that worked his butt off to earn $600 to buy a real one or the lucky fella that had one sat in his shed for 25 years along with his sonlite's and his aerospeeds. Just a thought you could call it PMT then if anyone gets a cob on you could just look at the stem and say "sufferer?" Ohh by the way I was looking at my GHP new schools and the stems need replacing so keep me in the loop please for your 1 1/8 repro. One thing is don't make it so big that old school stem pads dont wrap around like I have now with Profile.
See some of you in the summer with a new born who will be stealing your pit bike so keep em locked ;)
Still wearing the red tee :) with GHP
