    I've been making custom stems almost as long as I've been making custom frames.  In fact, if my memory serves me correctly, my first stem was for the second bike that I ever made for myself.  A basic HOULE custom stem is made to work with a threadless headset (an adapter quill is used to work with threaded headsets).  The handlebar clamp has a double binder (also called "dog bone style"), which makes installation easier.  Oh yeah, and its powder coated flat black.  Beyond that, a HOULE custom stem can be almost any length &/or angle that you need.  Fittings can also be added to increase the usefulness of your stem.  The captain's stem on my tandem has a fitting for my computer, one for my bell, and one for my drag brake lever.

    A basic stem costs $125.  Added fittings add to the price.  If ordering a stem along with a custom bike, the stem can be painted to match the frame at no extra cost.
