but technomics are ~72 degrees, though they have super-long quills
you can get dynamics in 90 degrees. They have a longer quill than most regular stems, but not as long as a technomic

But if the quilll is long enough, the degrees doesn't matter.
A Nitto Technomic (https://aebike.com/page.cfm?PageID=30...ils&sku=SM1190) gives you about 6" of pleasure.
Theres also the Nitto Dirt Drop (https://cgi.ebay.com/NITTO-Dirt-Drop-...QQcmdZViewItem)

Profile H20, longer quill than anything I've seen barring the Technomic, and comes in 90 degree in a variety of lengths. 2-bolt modern faceplate, which is nice as well. I've used one in the past, seemed solid enough (eventually converted that bike to a threadless setup). Ugly though...

I was just thinking about that.... Though if I'm tearing of tape I might as well rewrap

Profile Designs H2O quill stems are available in various angles, including 90 degree and various stem lengths. The quills are relatively long.

Alternatively, if you like retro, Rivendell has some long quill stems like this:

Stem angle is a complete cluster****, as we saw in this thread where no one knows what a 90 degree stem is. Basically some quote stem angle as coming off a horizontal line that intersects with the top of a bike, assuming a ~72 degree head tube. But the angle of the imaginary head tube varies and hence so does this figure. The angle of actual head tubes also varies and hence so will end results---a Nitto Technomic has a bit of drop when installed in my bike's 75 degree headtube.
But is a stem that sits perfectly along this hypothetical flat line a 90 degree stem? Or a 0 degree stem? This adds another order of cluster**** to this problem.
Others quote stem angle as the angle of the steerer tube to the stem extension when the stem is installed. This standard makes a lot more sense as there is no imaginary bike involved and end results are not relativized. This is the standard the OP was using when asking for a 90 degree stem, and the standard that baxtefer was using when he said Technomics are 72 degrees.
All a stem does is move the handlebars in two dimensions away from the top of the headtube, to give good handling and bike fit. Does it matter weather a stem is straight or angled (and at what angle) if it gets the handlebars in the right place? Why the traditional approach to put the top part of an angled stem parallell to the ground?
