Tioga Task Force Stem....

[ThisBitterPill]

I have a NOS black one, but I want to paint it blue like my BITD one....

Does anyone have a pic of a blue one or does anyone know if is it the same blue as the striped Tioga / Tange seatclamp?

Cheers!

Here you go Daz
The Blue is a bit deeper / darker than Taskfore Clamp.
Hope that helps. Shame you have to strip the NOS black one but I know how difficult it is to find it in blue.
If you want to swap it for my red-top and a polished base (not shown) just give me a shout.

Ah that's great mate....Thanks a lot!

It does seem a shame to strip the NOS one....

The funny thing is, on my original BITD DP (which I am building a replica of) I sanded the blue paint off the top
so it was just bare aluminium!

I'll have a think about the Black one....Took me ages to find...I don't think I've even seen another Blue one since mine in 1985!

No worries. Happy to help
Just let me know if you want some more photos in a better light.
I'd love to be able to offer you the blue one but it's ear-marked for a build.
I guess you must be nearly there with your childhood ride

Cheers mate....I have all the bits now....Just need to get the frame & forks and a couple of other bits powdered and the Z Rims bleached and rebuilt.....
