I just bought a Centini branded (bike shop in Plymouth) racer from my local free ads. It dates from the mid 90s and is Shimano RSX equipped and has a lovely steel Columbus Aelle frame.
It's in great condition and barely used but I'm having trouble trying to get hold of a decent quill stem. The one that's on there is a 3TTT but it's a 110 reach 22.2 and I need a higher, closer one like a 90mm or less as the bike was originally specced for a bloke slightly taller than me. The frame size is good for me at 22" and was actually too small for him which is why he'd fitted the longer reach stem.
I've tried fleaBay with no luck and my local bike shops just want to sell me an adjustable clunky item for a hybrid or an A-Headset converter which is out of keeping with the bike and would mean changing the bars too.
Has anyone any ideas where I could source one or even perhaps got one they'd be willing to part with?
Thanks
Gary
