We are restocked with our VO threadless stems after being cleaned out faster than we anticipated. We took the opportunity to update the graphics a little, but aside from that, it's the same stem: 70-120mm extension, plus/minus 6 degree rise, 26.0mm clamp, 1-1/8" steerer tube, and a very high polish finish.There have been some requests for different rise stems and handlebar clamp diameters. We can have them made with a +/- 17 degree rise and and a +35 degree rise. The 6 degree and 35 degree go down to 50mm extension.
31.8mm bar clamp stems are also orderable. Not sure if we want to order every last permutation, but what would most benefit your stores?
We also received our first shipment of Brass Temple bells. The clamp is not as pretty as the expensive Japanese bells, but it's 90% as nice. What's really nice is the price. They are boxed in 10's but priced in eaches.A quick note about this bell; the threading of the bell where it screws into the clamp is a little different, so it is not compatible with our Velo Orange retro or headset spacer bell mounts.

17 degree yes
35 degree no
31.8 clamp no
Why a 'no' on the 35 degree up and the 31.8mm clamp?
35 degree up stems should not be associated with VO, imho.
I'd like to see VO carry real bicycle bells, the kind with ringers inside, not "ping" bells. The kind that look like this:

Those bells are getting hard to find actually, esp with all metal ringer guts.
I know. That's why I'd love it if VO carried them.
With our next shipment of stems we will add +17 degree stems.
