Quill stems family albums
I was changing stems on my Look and KHS today and decided to take a group photo of my stem stash. Mostly just so I can remember what I have:
let’s see you guys’ stem collections

Maybe it's just the extra details??
The decals, the extra text cast into it??
It's not as simple as a clean Cinelli or Nitto Pearl, but I can't help it. ... Plus.. I have a nice example stashed away too.

I do like the looks of this 3TTT Record, and I'm not even sure why.

First top level part I ever bought was a 135mm? one of these that was deeply discounted for my first too small high end bike that I was out growing even more.
Next up was another deeply discounted part, narrow Campy 2 bolt that got me some more height.
Then a set of Mafac "2000" engraved brakes to replace the standard issue Dia-Compes, SunTour first gen Cyclones to go with the stock "Mighty" Sugino Mighty Competition crank and I was set.
Bike was a Mizutani Super Seraph bought from Mel Renfro when he had a bike shop here in PDX.
It was nice but heavy, I didn't really know any better and didn't care, especially after I got the better parts on it.
Until it parted ways with bottom half of the DS RDO and became a parts donor.

I'll play... There's another box of take offs somewhere, and for whatever reason I have a couple of crates of "cockpits" that haven't been broken down, as well as a bunch of Nitto Technomics floating around in the various project boxes.

The adjustable stem is titanium. I got that on Ebay. Supposable Mark Nobilette made it.
The Salsa is the other unique stem I have. Also found that on ebay. I bought a Nishiki Ariel to hold it. My shop is still basically a museum of pre covid dreams.....
