Title: FBM Bottle neck stems
Post by: Gary72 on January 07, 2015, 08:40 PM
Managed to bag 2 in recent weeks. Anyone able to give a date for them. I know there are various versions. I would really like the version with the bottles etched on the side. I only have 1 in my possession at the moment as a fellow radster is looking after a bike I bought just for the stem :buck2:
I'm pretty certain that this one is the 2010 version, Has US sized allen bolts.

You beat me to that Bottleneck by about an hour Gary  ;D

Yeah, that top one is the later one, the bottom one might have the bottles on the side (see pics of mine on my Steadfast below) - they're the second gen ones I think.

Wanna swap the later one for some Primo hubs?  :LolLolLolLol:

I *think* the gens went:

First gen:

Sorry Dan
Mad thing is I paid more for the later stem then I did for the whole bike with the other stem on.
What hubs you got?
Any idea on year for the earlier stem?
