Help with Thomson stems on Ebay
Specifically this seller:
https://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZap_bicycles
They're selling Thomson stems, the one with 26.0 handlebar clamps. (EG: 0deg/70mm/26.0clamp
or 5deg/120mm/26.0clamp
The only thing is some of the ones that are listed don't match up to the specs listed on the Thomson site here:
https://www.lhthomson.com/elite_stem_sizes.asp
They claim that they have new old stock but I don't trust it as I haven't been able to find other places selling those stems. Can anyone help me on this? I also have a feeling that all their listings are for 25.4 handlebar diameter.

old thomson road elites were 26.0. those have been discontinued. they still make 25.4 mtb stems in 0 and 5 degree +/- as far as i know.

At my LBS on Friday I scored a silver 26.0 clamp thompson elite 90mm long, neg 10 degree drop w/ the "Thompson" spelled right-side-up when the stem is postioned pointing downward. It took me a long time to find that. i think it's a couple year old NOS.
