Looks like he bought the wrong size frame. What a loser!!!
Must have been a really good price.

I just switched to a 54.5 top tube from a 55.5, much happier.

More availability of 150mm stems is a good thing for tandems. A regular stem for the stoker is a big weight savings over an adjustable tandem stem. The option of 150mm would allow more stokers to dc the adjustable stem.

My husband's mtb, built by my brother with an alu JensonUSA frame, has a stem that's long like that. It works though because my husband is built like a gorilla - huge torso and arms, short legs. He's got such a weird upper/lower ratio.

I have seen late model 150mm Ritchey stems around...maybe through their custom department.
In my stem stach...I have an old school Bonty 150mm Racing stem that I have ridden on my 29er...designed for old school mtb XC. On a shorter stem now tho. Have ridden 140mm on my road bike. I don't see stem length as a big deal. Pro's ride smaller bikes with long stems for the shorter head tube to get more aero.

I didn't go to a longer stem, at least not yet.
