Cinella XA Stem Question

As I explained in another post, I am in a fit frenzy with my bikes. One of my bikes, a 1994 Litespeed Catalyst, has a 130mm Cinella XA stem. The style fits the bike well. But, I need a XA in the 100mm, maybe 110mm.

Did Cinelli make the XA in 100mm? Is there a source other than the Bay for Cinelli stems?

Thanks

Bikes: I used to have many. And I Will again.

Yes they did. This place claims to still have them in 26.4mm and 115mm extension.

Bikes: yes please.

universal cycles sells NOS cinelli quill stems. however, their selection of models and extension lengths is less than it used to be.

Until a couple of days ago, I had in my possession an NOS XA with a 100mm extension. I purchased it from a shop in New Jersey called "The Bike Stand". I was hoping that it was a 26.0 (as listed) and bought it to pair with a set of bars that I have. When it arrived, I discovered it was in fact a 26.4 and I didn't have use for it. I returned it to The Bike Stand, where I assume it will again become available. The price was $30, as it is missing the bar clamp bolt, rubber wedge and "winged C" black plastic front cap. Can't hurt to drop them a line and see if it'll be for sale again.

I've got this one in 120mm in case you can't find anything else. PM me if you want to chat about it.

Ah yes, the Cinelli XA, the only stem I've ever broken. It's not pleasant when the bars suddenly drop away from you. The reduced matereial due to the plastic insert is a weak area.
