Hi Andreas,
Cosmic Sports is our German distributor. If they don't carry the steel SUL (I can't confirm if they do or don't right now) they for sure won't want to bring in custom stems. The custom stem program hasn't worked well for international shops in the past, because of their high cost and somewhat long turn around time. The custom stems cost around $160-190 before any kind of shipping of customs fees and they take 4-6 weeks to deliver. International accts have really shied away from custom stems. We do make a stock steel SUL in about that size (120mm X 90^ or 100^) and you can order it up on this here website -
http://spokesmanbicycles.com/site/intro.cfm. Go to "shop our catalogs", then to "expanded special order catalog", then you can do a search for Salsa. Anything we have in stock at Salsa will show up on this website as something you can order. Freight may be a little more going to Germany. Hope that helps.
Keep on riding, Pepperman

Subject: cromo-SUL-stem in germany?
hi floks!
im looking for a nice cromo-stem to fit my new kona-explosif.
so without a doubt you guys are on the top of my list!
i´ve seen the cromo-stem in your cataloges throughout the last 2-3years. but yet they did not find their way into the list of your distributor in germany.
so, i´d like to know wheather the stems are availiable in germany? (i need kind of a 120mm, 0-5° stem)
what about the custom-version (-> black is not so much appreciated)
how much would i have to pay?
i´ve read that there were some inconsistancies in frame-production?! and that now you are working with waterford? hope you´re running full steam soon..!
ok, thanx for now, hope to hear you guys
