Any option besides ritchey classic? Was hoping to use the VO stem but they stop at 120. This is for 31.8 and -6deg.

Thomson if you can deal with +/-10*.

-10 eill be too much.

But I was reading on another thread that the Nitto stems do measure long. Anybody has a 120 Nitto stem UI-21EX like the one below and could give me an exact lenght?

That Nitto measures 120mm. The only Nitto that measures long is the Pearl, which is 7mm longer than the nominal length.

Try new old stock for 3T, Deda and Cinelli. 130s are always left over, and you can get a nice polished 3T Mutant, for instance off Ebay.

Got confirmation that the Nitto mesures a real 120 and they stop there.

Mutant, remember that I had a quill version. Pretty damn ugly beast!

I may just buy that Ritchey, seems to be the easy way out.

For 31.8, silver, and 130mm, I think you're stuck with Ritchey.

Supposedly Syntace made the F119 or F139 in a polished finish with 31.8 clamp at 135mm, but good luck finding one:

There's also this BBB Ultra-Force stem in 130mm extension:

A recent 135mm (in this case 26, but 31.8 isn't a problem).

That's gorgeous, Eric.

Of course, I like the Mutant stem, so it might actually be an "ugly beast". ;)

Find any stem you like. Bead blast. Wet sand & polish with Mother's mag polish. Comes out looking awesome.

What's wrong with the Ritchey Classic?

Nothing, I have one in black on another back, just looking at options.

I have a Ritchey Classic in 130 (I'm pretty sure, I got a few stems in 120, I can check) if you are looking for used.
