[RBW] FS/FT: Nitto 11cm / 26.0 stem for your 10cm

2015-08-26 Thread Joe Bunik
Hi gang I have a nice Nitto quill stem (not sure what name this variety is), 26.0mm bar clamp diameter. 11cm length, 19.5cm quill length. The problem is, this style of Nitto stem runs long in that the *actual* c-to-c of the extension approaches more ~120mm; I want a close-to-actual 11 extension!
