MIne is definitely the Non-Deluxe. Peter didn't have the Deluxe in stock in 6 cm, plus the original stem was more in the price range of the Non-Deluxe, so I didn't feel the need to spend the extra money. Problem with Rivendell is they now seem to stock stems only in 9 cm, although they say they can order other sizes at a somewaht higher price.

Rivendell (no connection other than as a satisfied customer) has a Technomic Deluxe with a 190mm quill, and a Technomic Non-Deluxe with a 225mm quill. Maybe you had the Non-Deluxe.
