I finished my first ever bike project today - a pre-WW2 E. Stephens of London frame as a single speed with (mostly) vintage parts. I enjoyed a little bit of serendipity when a E Stephens stem came up on eBay about a month after I bought the frame. From what I've found online, or rather what I have found, I don't believe Mr Stephens was the most prolific bicycle builder and I was not aware that he made custom stems. It was in a pretty bad way when it arrived but cleaned up really nicely and I think the brass detailing goes well with the gold lined lugs. Before I cleaned it it was all black so I was overjoyed when I 'struck gold' during the clean up. The picture was taken pre-fine tuning so the chain is a little slack before you say anything .
