not a full representation

just a little of what we have. For a hint on Mr Black.. its the stem that a certain vdubbusrider wants at the end of every thing he puts on here. enjoy.. anyone else know what they all are. The light blue on the lower left is the first stem made by a famous stem maker (hint...cant wait to meet him later this year at the FFB swap/show)

I know I've found my special purpose!

Is that LD a taper job? Or is that aqua number a stoker unit?

Nice stinkfinger there birdboy! You might be able to relax on that Cook this fall with Sky not coming, but if you've got a Mach Tech floating around, you'd better lock that case...

For the stems with no names, I see: JP Morgan, Potts, Cook Bros., Easton.

Whats the tall ti one on the lower right?

Ive become a stem collector as of late. I'll try and get a pic of my current ensemble brewing at home. Of course a lot of my cool ones are mounted but Ive got a good number of homeless stems right now for some reason...

Heres what they are

Top Row: WTB, Manitou, Craig, Ringle
Mid Row: Ibis Ti, J.P Morgan, Salsa, Cook Bros
Bottom Row: Salsa LD, 1st ever Salsa stem, Easton Mag, Goat Ti, and well the last one...I am gonna make you still guess on that one but your hint this time is that it is Ti and made by someone with a very rich history in Ti and his first name may be Gary. If you guess Fisher than you get the FC from Rumpfy.

Hey Vdub what are the specs on the black threadless zooka?
I'll check tomorrow but none of these stems are for sale. i've found that whenever i build up a bike i dont have the right stem or the right fork so lately i've decided to hord them so i would never have that problem. i'm very selfish, i know.
