Klein Criterium

I've got a pair of Nitto Noodle- 26mm, and the stem can't get round the bends. Which is a shame as they are otherwise perfect.

Sorry to say it, but that seatpost is fugly as hell. Is it a temporary solution?

Never mind the seat post, what about that heinous crime of a saddle?

I've come to accept that dammit burdens all his builds with one of those.

I've got a 6400 seatpost, which I will use if it's long enough- however some quick tape-measure work shows that it might not work in this application. We shall see.

I may look into TIG'ing another section of alloy tube onto the 6400 post, probably pinning the joint also if I go that route.

Open to suggestions for a different, period correct but longer 27.2 post.

The post that is in there right now is to enable it to be clamped in the stand.

Saddle- once you go SMP you don't go back.

?

Easton EC90 or Syncros?

This is coming along nicely.

Frame details are so on point!

Would need a matching stem.

Syncros then

There is a nos 120mm -17 synchros stem on eBay... Hinged clamp too..

Quill?

Associated question- can you refinish the printed on Syncros logos without it looking crap?

Yeah

Odd, doesn't come up when I search for "Syncros stem", you have link?

Aha, thanks. I'd assumed it would be black.

What about a Profile stem? Would it be period correct? 'murican too.

e.g.

Would there be a matching seatpost?

Hmm, potentially not

Go Syncros. They were also on Rotta's of this vintage.

?

I wonder if white enamel paint would be ok to touch up the lettering?

Since you're set on SMP, you don't need inline I hope?
