Nitto Technomic Stem NTC-225 or NTC-280 ("Standard") 26

DETAILS

Nobody makes nicer stems than Nitto, and that's a fact, even though we also like a lot of other stems. It's a super classic shape and finish and will last you decades of use. This is the "Standard' version, the most classic and renowned of all, more of a chrome finish than the DX version, available in 25.4mm or 26.0mm clamp.

The regular is 225mm high, and will bring most cyclists' handlebars up to a comfortable height, but some might need or prefer even more height, so you can choose the super-tall 280mm (but it does cost rather more to get that much height, because of the beefier material, and it's rarely available).

Fits all our Bassi bikes except the Hog's Back, Belmont, and Coyote, and will fit most handlebars that don't have an oversized clamp area, though you might need to shim the clamp. Ask for shims, or make your own from a Diet Coke can!
