Hi all;

First time poster here in C & V.

I just got this '73 Sports Tourer which I'm going to restore. Although it's a 26" frame, the reach is a little short for me, so I'm thinking of getting a different, longer stem, and I'd also like wider bars. I'm checking out the Nittos "Technomic Road Bike Stem - 120mm x 25.4mm" which should be long enough, but I'm thinking the diameter will be too big.

My stem measures about 20mm or so, and the collar hole is about 22mm (ID).

I checked my stem for markings, and one side says "74 max," which I assume is the depth. The other side has something like "2" (over) "1553" (over) "463."

Make sense to anyone?

Thanks!

John
