Post by: Mikku on March 21, 2016, 11:13 PM: Hey Radsters, can anyone date this Win stem for me:-

I think Diamond Back had a very similar-looking, but Sugino-made one on some of its mid-80s models but I can't seem to find much info about this Win one. Thanks in advance! :daumenhoch:

Theyre funky, but n all fairness look odd once fitted and its nerve racking, tightening the top cap up, they dont appear to be all that strong, i will find a pic of mine fitted, its a few years old now so will have trawl old facebook pics

Post by: Mikku on March 23, 2016, 10:45 PM: Thanks for the replies and pic. It's good to see one actually fitted to a bike. Think I'll hold out for something that I really want rather than gamble on this. Thanks again for the help. :daumenhoch:
