Wtd: Cinelli steel stem and/ or hardware

Posted on
  • I'm after clamps and expander bolts for 1950s /1960s Cinelli Mod 1/2/3/5 steel stems. I've got two Mod 3 stems that are missing parts. I really want to get them on some old track bikes.

    I'll happily consider complete stems in any condition, or just the clamps and bolts. Anything out there?

  • I've got one just like this in 135mm if you're interested?

    Mine's scuffed up below the insertion point and obviously wouldn't want as much as the linked - let me know if this appeals

  • Thanks mate. I'm actually after the hardware for stems like this one. The one in this pic has the incorrect expander bolt, my other has no clamp or bolt. These are a lot harder to come by than Cinelli 1A/XA, so I may be looking for a while.

  • That's the type! Although that price is a bit crazy - and I'm pretty sure they were 25.4 back then.

  • Gotcha - good luck finding the right bits!

  • Here's another pic of that stem in use.

  • You don't really need a Cinelli one - old GB spearpoint ones are just the ticket and much cheaper to get. Although a trip to a good hardware store would also bear fruits - long bolts are easy to get - a long M6/M8 maybe less than a £1 - check here

  • Thanks Foreigner. I was a bit disheartened to find that the expander bolt from this stem was too wide for the Mod 3. (Not sure of the stem make - looks similar to a Titan.) You have inspired me to widen my stem search, though. I will look to pick up some much cheaper models with similar chromed hardware.

  • Lovely that Titan or whatever it is - what is the length of the bolt needed? And diameter? Will look at my parts bin. And if above is available.....

  • Thanks. I'll measure up.

    Unfortunately the other stem is broken. It's on the list to find out how much a Geoff Roberts repair and trip to the chromers would be. In the meantime I had hoped to use the expander bolt
