Thanks. All those 1” threadless stems seem to be chunky bois, should look better when I cut the steerer. I’m going to get the wheels re-spoked with silver before I call it done, that should tie it all together then.

Needs this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cinelli-Grammo-Titanium-A-Head-Stem-1-inch-Strada-Road-120mm-26-0mm/402378392386?hash=item5daf9f0342:g:NkkAAOSw1EtfQqLw

or this:

Would require thinner 25.4/26mm bars though

(neither are mine)

Nice those, I’d been eyeing up the Cinelli ti jobs but I don’t have the appetite for that extravagance right now. The ITM one’s more elegant too but I do need 80 or 90mm as I’m finding this frame just a touch long for me. I’ll keep my eyes peeled.

Edit- I think most 1” threadless stuff was for mtbs in its day wasn’t it? Most road bikes were using quills for a long time while off roaders went threadless or have I got that wrong? That ITM clamp looks more flat bar friendly.
