Club Tour frames still available?

[jags]

Dave reckons i need 80mm stem to get my desired reach which is 520mm tip of saddle to centre bars.
to be honest i never had problems fitting a frame,so with a few adjustments here and there it should be fine,one thing for sure i don't want straight bars

[Danneaux]

Yay! Sounds good, jags.

Fingers crossed...

All the best,

Dan.

[jags]

mind you i still can't find a nice 80mm stem on sjs site.

[Danneaux]

What clamp diameter do you need, Anto?

Best,

Dan.

would i need to use a Quill stem on that older club tour or can i use the modern stems what ever suits i suppose.

jags.

No quill stem on that frame you linked to, Anto.

or can i use the modern stems

Yep; you'd want  1-1/8 threadless (clamp-on) stem.

The thing you'll need to check is your handlebar clamp diameter. Thorn/SJS Cycles have plenty of stems in 25.4 diameter, but you may need 26.0 if you plan to re-use your current handlebars...or buy handlebars with a clamp diameter that will match the stem. Main thing is to make sure the clamp diameter matches the handlebar diameter, whatever it is.

Best,

Dan.
