3TTT Quill Stem Vintage Road Bike 22.2-26-130 mm Eroica PO29

Some components are identified by a single number, and this 3TTT quill stem is one of them: 130 mm of forward reach, 22.2 mm at the quill, 26 mm at the clamp. Those three figures define where your hands will sit on a vintage road or touring bike, and they are the reason a restorer seeks out this exact stem rather than a modern substitute.

Why the 22.2-26 mm format matters

This is not a generic stem. The 22.2 mm quill diameter fits a standard threaded steerer tube, while the 26 mm clamp is sized for the classic road handlebar bore found on many European bikes of the period. If you are working on a vintage road machine or a touring bike (vélo randonneur), these two dimensions must match your frame and handlebar — and here they are stated precisely before you commit.

Condition and character

This is a used part. Oxidation is declared as none, so the aluminium body has not developed the powdery corrosion that often plagues aged stems left in damp workshops. As with any vintage component that has spent years in storage, expect minor cosmetic marks and light traces of use. The item title carries the inventory code PO29, which identifies its location in our stock — the kind of reference a shop working with hundreds of used parts needs to keep straight.

The aluminium construction and Italian origin are part of the 3TTT story, and they are declared here without embellishment. For a coherent cockpit build, browse our selection of vintage road bike handlebars and complete the front end of your project.
