ATAX aluminium stem for vintage touring bikes: 55 mm reach, 22 mm steerer, 25.4 mm clamp. Photos are part of the description. Minor cosmetic wear typical of storage.
A 55 mm extension reshapes the cockpit: the bars sit closer, quickening the steering and keeping the rider's weight centred over the front wheel on long days in the saddle. This ATAX stem, made from aluminium, delivers that compact position with straightforward period-correct geometry for classic touring bicycles.
The images provided constitute an integral part of the description—please review them for a complete assessment of the item's condition. Minor cosmetic wear typical of a stored vintage component may be present, but no significant cracks or deep corrosion are evident.
With a 22 mm quill diameter, it slides into the vast majority of vintage French and Italian 1-inch threaded forks without adaptors. The 25.4 mm handlebar clamp is the standard for countless drop bars of the era, securing your cockpit firmly. The 55 mm reach yields a compact, responsive front end that suits long-distance comfort and quick handling alike. Whether you're assembling an Eroica-ready machine or a faithful restoration, this stem eliminates guesswork.
For a longer reach when your frame demands it, you might consider the ATAX 22-25.4-95 mm Vintage Stem for Touring Bike Eroica PO18. And if a 65 mm extension is the sweet spot, the ATAX 22-25.2-65 mm Vintage Touring Bike Stem Eroica PO17 is also available.
The external diameter of the quill is 22 mm, fitting standard 1-inch threaded forks found on many vintage French and Italian touring bikes.
It clamps handlebars with a 25.4 mm centre section, the most common size for classic drop bars from the 1970s and 80s.
The extension from the centre of the quill to the centre of the clamp is 55 mm.
No cracks, deep rust, or structural issues are present. The photos, which are an integral part of the description, show any minor storage wear.
It was made in France, as stamped on the component and confirmed by the original specifications.
