Product Description
The P10 high rise stem is the iconic model that brought Jacquie Phelan and Charlie Cunningham's dirt drop craze (via the L.P. stem made famous on Jaquie's bike "Otto") to the mainstream. Ross Shafer was the innovator, and this stem put his company in the spotlight of the crazies who love dirt drop mountain bikes! It is first mentioned by name in the 1993 catalog, though it's seen on show bikes as far back as a 1988 A La' Cart. John Tomac rode his Yeti C-26 & Raleigh Tomac Signature Ti famously as dirt drop setups, though he used a much shallower Tioga stem.
If you want to do a vintage Dirt Drop mtb right, you need this stem. It's also just a stylish way to get your bars way up high without an unsightly adjustable stem or super tall quill.
Condition
New old stock take off! It looks like a bar was test fit or installed and removed before any real miles. The only wear at all is the tiniest signs inside the bar clamp that a bar has been inserted, and the driveside's decal shows a bit of that delamination effect at the very bottom between the red and yellow sections. Worthy of any show bike.
