Stevan- I have never seen nor heard of an adjustable road stem, but your logic below makes sense to me. I seem to recall that Ambrosio made Steel adjustable track stems. But have only seen 3TTT and Fiamme Alloy adjustable track variety. Finding any of these stems would be a blessing as it has been about 15 years from the last time I saw one---and if anybody knows where I can find one, please let me know---and heaven only knows how expensive they are today.
I have never seen a Cinelli Alloy adjustable stem, but recall reading an ad from the 60s advertising Cinelli Steel adjustable ones. Is Lyonsport planning to make the Alloy variety? Inquiring minds want to know. Cheers, Dave Anderson Cut Bank MT
