HEY MABMAN:
I won't be paying twice for the same part...only once!
I paid Memory Lane Classics for the stem plus shipping.
It didn't fit.
So instead of sending it back to them for a refund, Kilroy offered to buy the stem from me for the same price as what I paid the Vendor, also reimbursing me for my shipping charge from California to Pennsylvania!
See? I'm not out one cent!
Now, when I buy a stem that fits, I'll be paying for it FOR THE FIRST TIME!
ALso, Mr. MABMAN...if my local bike shops don't stock a gooseneck that will fit, then I WILL ORDER that stem that was shown in the link you provided me !
So DON'T SAY I'M DISREGARDING YOUR ADVICE, MR. MABMAN!
