Title: mid 90's stems
Post by: gt0733 on May 05, 2007, 12:09 PM

i have a problem. in the very near future i hope to have a 1993 robinson xl F/F sitting under the house ready to put together. the only part i'm undecided on is the stem. i'm thinking DK but these seem to be fairly thin on the ground, especially in ano blue. have you fellas got any suggestions, remembering it needs to be early to mid nineties and anodized blue.

I've got a new still in thebag DK stem. It has a hollow bolt but the stem itself is the same as the race version. As you say, very, very rare.

thanks for the replies, fellas. does the hollow bolt means it's to run the front brake cable through or to reduce weight? sorry for the silly question but i'm not up to speed on the freestyle components.

to run the brake cable through mate

but i guess it would reduce weight too though :)

Rednecks really are one of the best shafted stems ever. The fit between the shaft and the ally head was a "nit-fit" where they shrink the shaft in liquid nitrogen and heat the ally up, then press them together. This means you can make them a much tighter fit. And, if you can find one, they dont usualy cost an arm and leg.

Have you seen that profile are reproducing shafted stems again?
unless you really want an original 90's stem.
