Thanks RB.
Actually, this Phillipe stem is longer than the one on my LC - and was original to my (slightly too big for me) white '75 PX10, which is now wearing a (shorter) Pivo.

That adjustable in post 5 is interesting. A few of the others make me think someone needs a larger bike.

I'll fess up - the Faggin (post #3) was 1 cm too small for me. It was a 56cm with a 55cm tt. It was comfortable to ride, but maxed out on all the adjustments.

Currently riding a 57x56 Ciocc with a 120 stem - fits like a glove.

Sorry for the terrible photo, but here's the stem on my 1948 Raleigh Record Ace. It's made of Reynolds 531!

A Merkins Limp Dick stem on a Dick Power would just be balls eh?
