BRITISH MANUFACTURED Ahead Stems from the '96-'98 period?

[TOMAS]

Hey guys, doing some fine tweaking to my Brit themed Fuquay that I built and trying to trade up some of the non-British bits for British, can anyone think of any manufacturers of UK Ahead Stems for the 1996-1998 period, only 2 I can think are PACE and X-LITE but are there any others?

Cheers in advance

Re:

Not sure if use made stems back then, nor hope but worth investigating. Grey components? Others I think of I assume had them made overseas and just branded them.

I had thought about both Hope and USE but I am almost certain they didn't start knocking out stems until around 99-2000, Fuquay stem looks interesting, massively wrong size for me, may have to just sit tight forever and keep looking for a Fuquay stem with better dimensions haha!

Cheers bud, it was a thought... I've got the same NOS in Red stem on another build i'm mid-way through and must admit I do think they are fugly looking things, deffo wouldn't suit skinny tubed steel IMO but cheers and that is a good price with the top-cap
