<------------------ SOLD ------------------> ATAX Aero stem - 110 mm / 22.2 mm - 1990 date stamp (USED)
ATAX Aero - aluminum alloy - non- anodized finish - 22.2 mm quill - 25.0 mm size clamp - 110 mm length - single bolt "hidden" non-quick release - stylized "ATAX" oval front logo - post 1984 "wedge" style expansion fitting - date code marked "1990" along its quill - model Aero ... [USED - this ATAX / Philippe Aero model stem in fair to good state with all hardware present and in proper working order - there are ample signs of honest use, most of which could likely be polished out given the time and inclination to do so - all piece parts have been carefully disassembled, cleaned, inspected, and then reassembled WITHOUT benefit of lubrication (...which means that one would be well advised to apply a dab of molybdenum or white grease to the internal clamp parts and cone wedge as well as lightly coat the lower threads of the aluminum stem bolt with anti-seize compound prior to actual use)]
