Just..Me..Chillin' Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 i'd guess somewhere around 83 - but i dont ever remember seeing advertisements for them then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipVanWinkle Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I went digging through the '83 - '84 mags. The 1983 Pro Neck advert didn't mention a PN II and the photo was too small to make out the stamping. Pretty sure I noticed a bike review listing a Pro Neck II stem in a 1984 mag.

mcam Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 What is the actual difference (or differences) between a Pro Neck and a Pro Neck II stem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipVanWinkle Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Wondering the same thing... they looked the same. 1983 Pro Neck ad. No mention of a Pro Neck II Mid 1984 new Pro Neck ad. You can see the "Pro Neck II" on the stem, but no information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contender Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 The bolt for the wedge is smaller on the Pro Neck II, and I think the wedge is no longer step cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4130only Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I have a black one that i got in 1984, i think the different is a shorter shaft the rest was the same as the Pro Neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin S.Brothers Posted August 2, 2017 Admin Share Posted August 2, 2017 bumping this in case any of you scholars can refine it. Still looks like mid-84 is about the release date based on info here but there is a general lack of info to be sure. Photos and magazine ads are helpful (please host them here for free) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
