I think I posted a picture of it on the drop bar conversion thread.

The last one I bought was a Sunlite brand from Niagara Cycle. Not sure where I would go now.
yeah, i don't want to do threadless unless i had the money for a cigne stem. or, by sheer luck, an old school LD stem on ebay
i'll have to look for your pic on the thread, then. thanks!
