Someone told me the Deda Newton comes in a 125, but QBP don't seem to stock it. I just did a QBP search at aebike.com for 125mm 31.8 clamp stems and it shows two adjustable (I know, not your preference) stems, one from Dimension, one from Oval Concepts. If you need something so specific as 125mm only, you should specify what rise angle you want since a given 130mm or 120mm stem might give you the same position at various rise angles and a rearrangement of the spacer stacking. Or, the OP could get a set of bars with a slightly longer reach and just use a 120. Or get a frame builder to make him a custom stem, certainly not an unheard of thing. -S- |

125mm stem HELP
Or get a frame builder to make him a custom stem, certainly not an unheard of thing. -S- why just a stem? Get a new custom frame. Be sure to specify reach so that you don't end up between pesky 10mm stem lengths. Every looked at a ruler? 5mm is a long way. |

A custom frame is a fine idea, too, now that you mention it - that way, you wouldn't need a custom stem. -S- |
