Description
 
Our lugged quill stem is the strongest and most beautiful stem out there, and is hand-brazed by Ms. Yabashi, a 42-year old woman who works at Nitto. It is made of CrMo tubes specially drawn for this application, using our own investment-cast lugs. The stem quill is 22.2mm; the bar clamp is 26.55mm.  

This stem is a soft, not shiny nickel finish, something Nitto calls dull-bright,  strange as that may sound. The quill is 190mm. It is expensive, but of course is a good choice for a bike that'll last a long time. If you can afford it. If not, get the Technomic Deluxe, and save $$$. (You'll never regret a lugged stem & it's just a matter of whether you can afford it.) (Also, if you can afford it, please buy it from us, because we spent all the money getting them made!)

Get the Nitto 26.0 to 25.4 shim (part #16-095) if you're gonna use this with a 25.4mm clamp bar like the Dove or Albatross.

Look at our unplated lugged stems.

Pricey bling if you are into it. June 20, 2012
Reviewer: Ryan M. from Kentucky  
So my bike needed some more bling and I figured since I look at the stem of my bike more often than some saddlebag or derailer (yeah, that's how it should be spelled), what better way than to splurge for a cool lugged stem. I couldn't be happier with it. It does what a stem should do, but does it with a certain flair that is hard to put into words.

Can't say a negative thing about it.
