Squared off stem earlier than the rounded version, however they are both fairly early 80's as they rounded off all the corners in the later 80's and early 90's. A classic stem in my opinion....As far as I know they made mini, reg, large, XL, XXL and XXXL versions of these stems...(sounds like t-shirts!!)

the longer one is the late '80s transition style...rounded cap, but still has corners on the back end of the base. next version was rounded all-around, then after that they made the base thicker.

Can anyone say what year they started to round off the top cap on these? I'm trying to build era correct & need to know if I should hold out for an "all square" one..
