.Heinz Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Hi I recently got a new Cannondale with a Lefty. Now I'm wondering what is the shortest available stem options for a Lefty as well as where I can find them. I'm looking at something like this: Does anyone of you know where I can find such a stem? All input would be appreciated!
Spoke101 Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 To my knowledge those stems are custom made for there team riders. I will try get an answer for you on Monday on whether there is a retail version.
Ryanpmb Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 That looks like the Leonardi proto. They might be in production now, not sure. Spoke101 will no doubt find out. Last I read they won't be much shorter than 90mm as the radical neg angle leads to bar and/ or stanchion clearance issues.
"Mechanic" Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 A Italian company by the name of Leonardi make them. They don't come cheap if you can get your hands on one. Cycle Lab Limpopo(I think) was selling one and wanted R2500.

PeterF Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 As far as I know the shortest OPI stem you can get is 90mm. The Leonardi's design is intended to get the handlebar as low as possible, that is why most of the pro's use them.
Scalpel Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Leonardi's are freely availabe. I use one on my Lefty.

wendfan Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Parcel from Qwerty Cycles received today. Took 6-7 days from UK to SA and another 2 weeks to get through customs. Will definitely use them again.
