who's making steel stems?

[AngryScientist]

i'm aware that many of the framebuilders here can make custom stems,

wondering who, if anyone produces an affordable, off-the-shelf steel stem, tig welded, for OS bars and 1-1/8 steerer.

something like the salsa... but they dont seem to be available now, and had a safety recall on some of their stems?

The Salsas were made by Waterford. I don't see stems on the Waterford site, though.

I know that Rawland is looking into a 1" threadless stem for their upcoming Stag model (been meaning to start a thread on that bike).

Over on the Rawland list, I've heard of some NOS steel Kelly stems on the ubiquitous-auction-site-many-of-us-begrudgingly-use. Not sure if they're still up there or not.

Kelly still makes steel stems and according to the pricing on his site, the price is $135.

Does Bruce Gordon still have the Chicken Necks available ? Not sure they were offered as a treadless option though.

This was my thought as well. I would like to see them recreate the original salsa quill stems as well.

I do still make Chicken Necks.
I can do threadless also.
Please call (707) 762-5601 - please no emails about stems.

This place is just awesome. You get a response from the man himself. Very cool.

Great looking product too.

OP asked for stock stems, not custom. That being said, there are some great custom options.

Check out the Nitto CT-80. Beautiful fillet-brazed chromed stem, threadless clamp and both 25.4 and 31.8 mm bar clamp. The 25.4 version is the nicest stem out there to go with Nitto B123 steel track bars.
