currently running a 140mm thomson elite stem and finding I’m having to reach a bit far for my liking. Saw a couple of 80mm cinelli vai stems on wiggle for about $30 (not including postage) seems really cheap … are they shit?
No, theyre 80mm
well played
yep theyre crap. theyre much the same as a really crap stem you’d get for a fiver, just with ugly cinelli logs on them. are you sure you want to drop that much reach? 140 to 80 is a big jump.
can i have your 140mm?
Brendan - yeah no probs. I’ve actually got two (got sent me the wrong colour and then the guy I bought it off let me keep it and sent me a new one) one black one silver. If you want the black one, you’ll have to wait till I get a new stem though. Shouldn’t be too long.
a.davis - no, not certain but my back is pretty shit, so i figure the less I have to bend riding and skidding the better.
is it 1 and 1/8 steerer? 31.8 clamp?
ah, fuck, pm me your response.
anybody know of a nice steel ahead stem? nitto does a good one… any more with more angles to choose from>? …Salsa ones seem to have been recalled?
there’s a few. might get one myself.

is that on a llewellyn frame?
jeez cap’n, you got enough risers there?
Very nice no doubt CC, but the, gulp, price?

(the setup looks less silly in real life).
