Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Need help ID'ing this 90s stem

I bought this stem in the early 90s. It is 100% aluminum alloy, and it has a 26.4 bar clamp diameter (for older Cinelli bars). If I'm not mistaken, it was one of the first mtb-style "riser" stems made for road bikes. It was made by a relatively small American company, and I think the name started with a P, or maybe an F. If you recognize it please let me know.

Thank you.

Ray

Aha! That may be the one. Are you familiar with this stem, or are you going by the "name starts with a P" comment I made?

Unless somebody comes up with another possibility, I'm going with Profile.

Thank you.
