Yes, please do: this may be one of the only places where info on one of the more obscure Swiss bike marques will be archived...we need to see more
And thanks to Chombi for the great detail shots of that unusual stem: I have a feeling it will be prone to creaking as it's similar to the wedge design that Cinelli used for their creak-prone 1R...but maybe this variation was the cure for that!

BTW, just in case the question gets raised again: early Titan stems and handlebars (primarily chromed steel) were not a product of this Titan bicycle company and were made in Belgium, not Switzerland.
