That maligned Ambrosio stem, Italy's response to the Major Taylor track stem, was common on the ca. 1960 Capo bicycles, particularly the top-of-the-line Sieger.

I have some Ambrosio bars from the 50's, they seem to be of very good quality. I have never seen one of those stems in person, but I have seen them on EBay, and always for big money. My point was that the stem looked out of place on that bike, i.e. a track stem on a road bike with a rack. Is it a track stem in name only, was that a common component found on road bikes of that era?

I have always thought adjustable reach would be desirable on rental or shared bikes, but a proper Major Taylor stem, which adjusts from the front instead of the back, would be safer.

They were not common overall, but they were factory spec. on various Capo models in some years -- Otto Cap, a retired bicycle racer, must have liked them well enough to bear the extra production cost on his high-end bikes. One cool trick is to reverse the vertical portion, to convert it into a riser stem.
