Maybe your bike should get over itself. ;)

Just a note: finding a 1" threadless stem is tricky... you're better off using a 1 1/8th" stem with a shim... at least as far as selection goes.

On a bike-snob note, I am kinda disturbed by the fact that you specify an angle but not extension. Does no one care aout bike fit?
That said, I have a few 1" threadless stems that I will never use.
I have an old 120 mm salsa, 75 degree, 1 inch threadless, 26.0, black powdercoat. Sleek and damn stiff. I also have:
-a 130mm hi-rise 1" threadless 25.4 mtb mikkelsen stem, removable face plate, heavy and goofy looking.
-1" threadless interlock, 95 degree, 130mm, 26.0
-a 90mm 1" ~110 degree threadless grey ritchey.
I would be down to trade/sell any of these and I will probably be at hellyer this saturday.

have you seen the bikes people on this thing ride? fit has to be the farthest thing from there mind.
if you got the money, i bet a jonnycycles (http://jonnycycles.com) stem would be worthy...

+1 but it's 1 1/8" so you'll need a shim. They also come in silver

3t Mutant or Cinelli Vai will both work and come in 1" threadless.
