Nice stems

I bid on a nitto stem the other night on a whim not expecting to win it, but I woke up this morning with a paypal invoice.



I'm not sure what the exact model is because it was just listed as a used nitto track stem with a 65 degree drop. The bottom of it looks different than the other quill stems I've seen. Who knows, maybe I just bought a piece of shit, but if it works out it saved me $40 bucks. If not I will just put it back on ebay or in the trade section on bikeforums. It was listed under vintage parts which I didn't realize when I bid on it so hopefully it still fits on my new frame. Heres a quick recap of stuff I still need to get:

- Tires
- Saddle
- Seatpost
- Chain
- Front Wheel
- Handlebars
- Pedals
- Straps

I might pick up some mks chain tensioners too, but I want to see if I can manage without them first.
