A tight-set cockpit demands a stem that puts the bar exactly where the rider expects it. PHILIPPE’s 45mm quill model — accepting a 22mm steerer and a 25mm handlebar — gives vintage builds that deliberate proximity. Forged from light alloy, this stem has been preserved without any oxidation, a notable find for its age. The clamp and quill surfaces are clean, and the hardware moves freely.
Why This Stem Works
- 45mm reach for a compact, responsive position
- 22mm quill diameter — fits common French steerers
- 25mm bar clamp — matches classic handlebars
- No oxidation — ready to install
If a longer reach better suits your build, the PHILIPPE 80mm touring stem delivers extra extension without compromising the period-correct setup. For Peugeot restorers, the matching PHILIPPE 105mm stem carries the original branding.
