Quest for a french stem (WTB)
 

I'm looking to replace my french stem.
looking for: 22.0 quill diameter, 25.4 clamp, 90-120 reach.
If you have one I would be very very interested
or if you know some secret internet hideway that I can check out, tell me please.

thanks!

I only have an AVA 'death stem' and I can't in good conscience give it to you.

It is possible to sand down a standard 22.2mm stem if you're patient enough. Otherwise, if nobody here has one, try the LBS parts bin, see if someone brought in an old Motobecane that they cannibalized.

I'm not sure what you want exists (although I could be wrong). And if it does, I want one too for my Grand Record.
I read somewhere on the Internets that French stems are a 22.0 quill diameter and 25.0 clamp.
yellowjersey.com has some 22.2 stems that have been machined down or you can just sand a 22.2 stem.

Sand a 22.2 to 22.0mm. Been there ... done that ... works like a champ.
