Was looking at a Salsa SUL but discontinued
need about 80-100mm with a rise rather than a drop or zero degrees.
has to be non shit - i know i can get an ETC or a Push one but i want something better made than those !
perhaps have to get ebay creative !
Have you tried [url= http://www.freshtripe.co.uk ]Freshtripe[/url]
He doesn't seem to have much in stock at the moment but has nitto stems pretty frequently. He's a really nice guy so might be able to source you something.
I got the "Threadless Stem Adapter" from Freshstripe to enable me to fit any stem I wanted. Using it on an old Spesh Hardrock that I use as a singlespeed commute bike and it's been fine so far.
Nitto Dirt Drop would be spot-on.
Or how about a Bullmoose:

its for an old hetchins roadie .... so the bull moose and the threadless adaptor is out ... i had a threadless adaptor on my puch and it was UGLY - but functional !
I've got a Nitto Technomic on my old roadie. Mine came from Hubjub. The quality of it is fantastic. Sorry to go on about Rivendell, but they have a lugged quill stem if that appeals. You certainly shouldn't skimp on it for a decent Hetchins.
The Bullmoose remains possibly the collest thing I have ever seen but I really can't see how it would ever be the slightest use to me. 🙂
dirt drop looks good

Fair enough, my singlespeed is a proper frankenstein monster so it adds to the appeal.
I have a very long Nitto Technomic (so it's flat but you can run it very high)I'm not using that I think is 100mm length. Will rummage in the shed this evening. Drop me an email if you're interested.
Might be worth checking out touring cycle specialist shops.
Have a look on the retro bike forums or post a wanted ad there.
sam - ive been out with the tape measure
really need 60-85mm with a 15degree rise - the SUL was perfect 🙁 ill keep an eye out on fleebay and look in retrobike
Will probably have to be an MTB stem to get those dimensions
Tranz X, got one on me Tube Rider, looks very cool in the flesh. SJS sell em.
