Thomson 26.0 Stems in Silver?
Anyone know why Thomson's 26mm bar clamp stems only come in black?
Do silver ones exist?
I'm just looking for a 90-100mm 1 1/8th 26mm Stem that's somewhere close to 17 degrees...but silver.

Is there a source for them somewhere online?
I'm looking for an elite, but the 26.0 sized ones only come in black as far as I've found:

I'm not set on Thomson though, so I'm open to anything. I was looking at the Nitto UI-5GX (https://www.thebikebiz.com/product_p/...em-nitto05.htm) but I'd like something with a bit more of an angle so it's not awkwardly sticking up into the air, needlessly raising my bars. Should I just get a 25.4 stem and file down the clamp area a bit? Or, just not worry about it? I already have 26.0 Nitto bars, so I'd like to be able to use them.

They make them, I just found some on ebay. Usually its only 5 degrees, but I know they make a -10. If you flip the 5 upside down, its a pretty subtle rise, so they wont needlessly raise your bars.
I dont know why finding a quality silver threadless stem is so difficult. just keep searching.
