This one is almost identical to the one ACS made for Mongoose, the Pro Class stem but says ACS on the stem top instead

The ACS Stoker stem came out in 1981
Here is an ad from Oct 81 BMX Plus



And another ad from Sep 83 showing the colours

Ooo - I have a Stoker stem (now I know what it's called)

same as a proclass stem very good actually , has bolts instead of tapped threads so you can tighten it without fear of threading it ..............genius

Not that strong for a rider though.I had one snap as I took off to jump the whoops at the Bulwell track and the bars and stem came off in my hands.Not the best landing I'd ever made and gravel rash to the face for weeks

I've been thinking of getting one myself, as all of my stems are Japanese (Suntour or SR). Not that there's anything wrong with that, I just fancy having another option for some of my builds.
