Hello, my stem was recently stolen with my nitto albatross bars. It is a 1 1/8, 25.4, 100cm. You can see it on these bikes as well as many others for the past few years before the move to adjustable ones.

Yes I want it for aesthetics. (The adjustable ones are ugly and it messes the clean lines of my bike) However I also want it because I find it to work the best with my nitto albatros bars. Even though my clamp size on the adjustable 1 1/8 25.4 stems I have bought to try to replace the stolen one are the same as the nitto bars 25.4, the bars still seem to spin under pressure.

I have tried carbon seat post compound, sandpaper, ect. Must be that beautiful nitto polish.
They still make the stem as I called Trek and Raleigh, however they wont sell it to me.
Anyone have one of these in their junk pile or now someone at raleigh or trek that I convince someone to sell me one.
thanks
