Cinelli Grammo Stems, Any good?

I'm in the process of upgrading my 80's Colnago and looking for a good lightweight stem / bar combo. (Nothing super modern) I usually do long distance rides on a weekend 80-100 miles so looking for something appropriate for that I guess.

I'm looking at a Cinelli Grammo, looks amazing for sure but are they worth the price? Also, anyone got recommendations on a set of bars to match?

I purchased a Cinelli grammo in the 90's, very light as said, i liked it even if it was a grey one.
I had Cinelli Eubois Diet anotomic bars in it..

You might find you're limited to 26.4mm dia. Cinelli bars for those stems.

ø26.4mm no?

Ahh yes.. cheers.. Amended to 26.4mm.

If you want a gorgeous Ti Quill stem, forget the dorky looking grammo

You want one of these babies:

Ibis, looks great will check them out on ebay. Thanks so much!

26.4mm dia. Cinelli bars, cool thanks will look into that, any ideas on what bars to go for greatly appreciated.

thanks!

My cockpit. Teamed the Grammo with 3ttt Ergo bars in gunmetal.

afaik, there were 26.0 versions.

tech answer for your question: http://sheldonbrown.com/rinard/stemtesting.htm

if that's an 80's bike you are upgrading, i'd say forget the grammo. i love the stem, but it needs a newer frame.

Yup, there were 26.0 versions. I use one with deda piega bars.

@via_condotti how much did you pay for those bars? think I want to switch to Ergo...

The few I've seen came with aluminum clamp bolts. If you're thinking of getting a Grammo, I'd replace that with a stainless one slathered in anti-sieze.

why don't you go for a cinelli top ergo 66? it would suit an 80's frame better (no angle) but the top part lets you position brake levers as you would on ergo bars

£35 I think, from classifieds.

Hi everyone I have a few parts im letting go.
