new GB stem and wingnuts?
The blog Lovely Bicycle posted that new production GB stems and wingnuts were on display at Interbike. Anyone know where or how they will be available?

No, but I'm willing to bet three bottles of beer they won't make wingnuts to fit the older Sturmey Archer geared hubs!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's why they stopped making them over 50 years ago.

No doubt the slippage is a figment of the imagination of those who, like the fox who couldn't reach the grapes, can't get their greasy fingers on a pair.
