Is there a source for new dirt drop stems, or are these just a "as they come up on the used market" kind of things. I have a new build up of an older conversion in the queue (originally used a soma hi-rise threadless converter and a threadless stem, but would like to go quill this time), and currently plan on using a nitto technomic, but am trying to figure out what to do if that doesn't give enough rise. It's a ways down in the queue of projects (both bike and other), but am wondering if I should start keeping an eye out now.
Edit: answered myself with a little google. Looks like they're still for sale, but only in 80-100 mm. Bummer, was looking for something longer as the height pushes the stem back so far. I guess I'll just hope my technomic is tall enough.
