2.54mm (1inch) stem post wanted.

[jamesgs]

I need advice on getting 2.54mm stem post to reduce the reach an an old trek 1200 bike that I want to use in the Cape Town cycle tour instead of my mountain bike. I was thinking of an old scrap bike if any one has one and grinding the stem off and using a home made adapter for a 31mm stem. It cannot be expensive as I am a pensioner (true).

That would be 1" = 25.4mm = 2.54cm, but sorry unfortunately I can help with one.

If you are in JHB give Linden Cycles a call. I recall a big old crate with old parts that they have available. 

You used to get an adapter that would convert the old quill stems into a normal modern standard stem. That could be your next option.

Thank you, that's a good start. I will check with Woodstock cycles as I am in cape town. I also know I is a quill I am looking for 🙂

Thank you, this was resolved. I went to Woodstock cycle works and he has a large range of legacy bicycle parts, great.👍🙂
