ABSTRACT:
A stem for interconnecting a handlebar and a head tube or bicycle includes an upright tube and a connecting tube pivoted to two lug portions of the upright tube. Each of the lug portions of the upright tube has a torsional spring mounted in a through bore of the lug portion and a positioning disc attached to the outside face of the lug portion. The positioning disc has a plurality of adjusting holes circumferentially formed. The torsional spring has a first end engaging the connecting tube and a second end engaging one of the adjusting holes of the positioning disc. The torsional spring can absorb the shock wave produced from the front wheel of a bicycle. The angle between the connecting tube and the upright tube can be varied by inserting the second end of the torsional spring into different adjusting holes of the positioning disc.
