New thread:

What purpose and use were adjustable stems for? I see track and road angles, I see them on ebay, I see them listed for sale on our CR list once in a while, I even own one sitting in my project bin. I've never seen a bike brochure listing one as a standard component or even an option. Nor on a bike on a shop floor that came standard with one. I've never seen one in actual use - really! When did they become available, why were they made, when were they used and why are they no longer available?
