Has anyone seen / own a Tuf Neck Stem - Free Style Model...

There is a square notch out of the bottom of them...

Circa 1984...

Like this one?

never owned one but have seen a few for sale. I had a Pro model with a hollow bolt, the longer stem the better on most OS frames!

my mistake! I did think that as I posted it but I thought the cut out for the bolt was what the Op was talking about!

Ace stems came as freestyle and race. Got a race on my Pistol Pete.
Last freestyle one I had was a NOS blue and Cleedubber has it.

the freestyle ones look a bit like Redline Brute stems underneath
with the buttress type extra support.

I can't copy the image from the magazine...

There's a picture of one on page 15 of the Jan 1985 edition of BMX Action...

I think the nipple on the stem above is for a rotor cable!

If you save the picture and blow it up guys, you can just make out the exit hole underneath. It doesn't need a big hole as it's only the inner that comes out

Here you go lads
