Again, the dimensions are achieveable with any of these stems. choosing the right length (either 90mm or 100mm, depending on the angle) and adjusting the stem's height on the steerer tube will allow this. If I had a protractor nearby, I'd do the math and show you what I'm talking about. And I'm not absolutely sure that I want the spacer height required for a -17 degree stem, so I may be narrowing this down even more.

i have a thomson on my road bike, and i love it. great stem.
Getting a lot of good feedback about the Thomson. I very much like the newer design myself. Now... how many of you would be comfy with this Thomson on a lugged frame, without a different post (Thomson posts and lugs do not go together)? I'm leaning toward either the Thomson or the Nitto (non-lugged).
