I think the stem was issued by ITM sometime in the middle 90's. I chanced upon it early last year at eBay. There we a couple more that popped up from the same seller, I think, a bit later, but I haven't seen them for sale there in a while now. Just keep checking by doing regular searches on "ITM stem" and maybe you can snag one too.
A bit heavier than the usual stem, because of the beefier clamp and hinge area, but not that bad. The interesting shape and silver over black anodizing caught my eye when I first saw it and I knew I had to have it.....helps that my bikes are mostly slver and black......
BTW, the clamp diameter is 25.4mm, I believe ITM makes a lot of bars of this size, so it should not be a problem finding one to match up to the stem.
