Search 'Gravity Stem' on ebay, Im pretty sure theres someone selling new 70mm ones for about £20 when therer RRP is somewhere over £40, think there an FSA stem.

C-al - Not as many as you might think, no. Especially if you're after a specific size or type.

Yeh I had a look on CRC and most seemed to be 90mm or longer or 10+ degrees of rise! The best I could find was the raceface for £40 but the ebay option looks good!

not many still in stock tho (I was looking myself last month). Bontrager do a variety of lengths and rises for about £20 in OS. I got one from [url= http://www.allterraincycles.co.uk/sc/3_Components/15_Steering/180_MTB/37_Bontrager/1_Stem/ ]ATC[/url]

If that's the one with the single steerer clamp bolt, I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. The bolt on mine sheared off at the head. That's the last time I ever use a single bolt clamp.

I got a RF evolve AM 70mm stem from ccc/go outdoors sheffield for £25 (with their discount card which costs £4 a year) last week.
They don't show on thier website but if there is a branch near you might be worth a phonecall/visit

I'm also after a 70-75mm O/S stem, looking at those Bonty ones linked above by Donk what's the Race lite like? any cop?

I'm currently using a 50mm Earl which I like but it's just too stumpy...

Da Bomb Floata stems come in 60mm length on CRC for £15 IIRC. Pretty decent stem actually, I've got the 90mm one and well happy with it.

I got a racelight, normal stem, looks well made no burrs or owt, didn't notice it being especially heavy/light, put it on a SS and didn't notice any flex issues. Uses 4mm bolt heads instead of 5 but no biggy. Holds my bars on the front of my bike, fingers crossed it continues to do so 🙂
