Without wanting to hijack the thread obviously but here's another example of the Superleggero working nicely with a classic frame.

That is a smart stem, it fits in well. The reason I chose the prime doyenne is the clean lines. A lot of modern stems can look too bulky for me. It's also quite angular which goes well with the ciamillo brake profiles etc. Retro bikes are either all curves or all lines it seems and I wanted to go with lots of lines on this
Perhaps if I get some more cash to spend on the build I could look at getting a D S stem. They cost a lot more than I spent on this one! Would also want to get rid of the branding. I'm trying to stick to no or minimal branding

Agreed. I ran a Deda Superleggera on my Donohue with an ahead conversion & think I got away with it (opinions may vary). They're lovely stems. Modern bars are way more comfortable than the limited set of quill stem suitable options in my experience.
