When a manufacturer, like Nitto, spec's a road quill thusly:*
"26.0 130mm 72 deg 145mm 1" road quill"
Does this mean that it will hold a 26.0mm handlebar, is 130mm long (tall) overall, will be level if put into a 72 deg head tube, that the centerline of the handlebar will be 145mm forward of the centerline of the part that sticks up, and it will fit your traditional 1'' road fork's steerer?

I think (subject to correction by others) that it is a standard road stem with a 26.0 clamp, a 130mm reach and a 145 mm quill extension -- to be used in a 1" steerer. In other words, its a 130mm stem for us old timers. I have boxes of these things in the basement, although most of them are Cinelli 26.4 stems. If you need one of those, let me know. I will sell it to you at an inflated price. -- Jay Beattie.

B) "Thusly" is a shy adverbial beast, perhapsly because it knows that "thereforely" is lurking out there and hoping for an excuse. But maybely it's ashamed of its needless tail-ly.

Such an offer. If one knows the quill extension (in this case, 145mm) is it possible to determine rise? (I think that's the correct term -- how much above the top of the head tube does the stem extend.) Other than shoving it into the steerer tube and breaking out the old ruler -- I don't have the frame yet, but I know the stock stem will put the handlebars too low and too far out front. These days I like 'em high and closer. So I need to order a stem by the numbers.

All you can do is measure from the top of the stem to the minimum insertion line. The up-angle of the stem will not give you any rise. -- Jay Beattie.

Got it -- you need the thing in your hands unless all stems have about the same distance below the minimum insertion line (this is taking me back to my bikes of the 80s).

As the angle goes down to zero, the height increases as well.
I especially like the adjustable quill stems for kid's bikes since as they grow you want to adjust the height and reach. It's really a pain with threadless headsets, though I saw three adjustable height threadless stems at the Taipei bicycles show. Buy them at any bicycle shop in Europe or Asia. Very nice.
