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.
