Mine was an On-One 100 mm x 35 deg stem, but I don't think they make them any more.

I'm using one of these in 60mm (except I paid more and got mine from some other country just coz it didn't have a logo, same stem though)
It's a 25.4 stem as oversized makes no sense to me on rigid bikes

The inbred has ended up with the bars 10mm closer and 15mm higher than my cross bike (which itself is not set up to be racey). The forks had a reasonable bit of steerer for quite a few spacers. Switching between my cx and mtb now feels totally natural as they both have midge bars (with extensions) and gevenalle shifters. Even my road bike has flared drops and a home made 'gevenalle' style shifter

GXR raises an interesting ponder..... whilst setting the sag accordingly, could 100mm fox forks be fitted to my Litespeed T5g gravel bike?
T5g will take the new Fox AX 40mm forks

What shortish very upright stems are people using in those set ups?
I've mostly used On-One stems but as Chris says, no longer made.
I do have a one of these on my Trucker. FSA Metropolis

Just fitted genetic digest bars on humpert high charisma stem on mine. Look and measure up much better than the standard drops I had on, just need to test them in anger...
