Extra long (230 mm) light stoker stems
I am doing a weight reduction exercise for our Ibis tandem.
Lots of progress (wheels were a big saving) but I have run into a brick wall on lightening stoker stems.
We use an adjustable stoker stem set at 240 mm C2C. The stem must weigh over 400g and so there is an attraction in a carbon one.
I could take out a new mortgage and get one custom made by Calfee - but does anyone know of any one who does fixed or adjustable stoker stems of this sort of length?
Davinci does a titanium @ 200mm but I am then left with no way of bridging the 40 mm gap?
Thoughts?

Clipless in Coeur d'Alene
daVinci is also now doing Ti stems. Published max avail is 200mm, but you should phone Todd and ask if they would one-off a 230mm for you. Price looks reasonable for a Ti stem.
