Powerlite would be era correct, the profile isn't and it would drop the bars by about an inch without a spacer fitted

Stick with the powerlite ed

Both are era correct Mark

I've got '94 BMX Plus mags with the stem in a Profile ad.

Gonna have to try it with both and see what works :-)

Your Auburn is late 80s Sean ... mine is 94 ... are they both era correct?

Those profile stems are but ugly Ed. Ive never seen one on a bike where I thought it lived with the rest of the build. You can put a profile sprocket on any bike and it just looks right. Put a profile shafted stem on a bike and it just looks out of place.

If it was my bike Id get rid of both an hunt down a GT dimple Pro XL. Match made in heaven when combined with an Auburn.

Go with the profile-I've got 6 of those powerlite stems-all fook ugly

Ed, they made the 1" Powerlite stem from 90 all the way upto 95, in 95 they also produced a 1 1/8" stem.

So good for both our bikes (mine is a 1990).

that fooking seals it

Powerlite stays

... for now ... I would be tempted by a GT or TNT tho

A nice GT to go with the minty GT profiles would look sensual.

Not totally convinced that a man wth a 'face made for violence & porn' ( quote? ) is well placed to judge 'sensuality' ... but then again

Will keep an eye out for some GT goodness

a crupi stem would look good, not sure on the year of them but i have one on my 85 ripper and it's a nice piece of kit.

In my experience Auburns were pretty tough bits of kit. A number of my friends had them BITD, and I never saw one crack. One buddy in particular rode trails on his (and raced every weekend) and it never skipped a beat. The other two only raced theirs, but either way, all 3 were sound bikes.

I think a fair few of the alloy Works Link rear ends did crack if they were abused ... I've gone for a Cro-mo rear to carry my 'slender' frame.

I've rode, raced and jumped mine and its one of the bikes I've owned that I have confidence in. I don't think the forks had a bomb proof rep but your gonna have to do something pretty stupid badly to bend em I recon.

crupi stems are fookin lovely on any mid bike but the perfect stem for an auburn, IMO, would be a GT dimple pro, the powerlite is a close 2nd, but its always good to tweak as you go anyway. looking forward to seeing this complete
