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.

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.
