Wtd: Stem (road)

TheBlaaMan

110 or perhaps 100mm, for 1 1/8" steerer and oversize 31.8mm 'bars. Looking for something nice, different ... what have you?

countrykid

the law says if your putting a stem on that nago it better match the bars..;-)

TheBlaaMan

I was hoping it might better the bars............they are unremarkable FSA alloys jobbies. I fancy a snazzy stem though - I'll be looking at it enough! This Colnago stem looks OK'ish, but is it genuine? Its certainly cheap http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111142605685?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 BTW, bar tape will be white.

You know these things well enough - opinions?

BTW, budget is well and truly blown at this stage !

Ta, she's looking sweet......

1/2 black-1/2 white saddle, carbon seatpost, black bars with white tape, carbon shifters, so the half and half Colnago stem appeals....
a few bits to do and then I'll post some piccys.

The BlaaMan - I have a deda zero 100 service corse stem - mostly black. Good to keep it all Italian :-)

I will be removing a 110mm PRO Vibe Carbon from my bike this week (really just alu with a carbon wrap although very light, around 125g). Identical to this:

The catch is there is a mark/chip in the laminate on the top of the stem where a computer was.

Also have the matching Pro Vibe Carbon bars to go with it in 40cm.

Of course, it's all filthy Japanese Shimano stuff, so if you are staying in character the Deda or maybe a Cinelli or something would be better.

Thanks Quigs, but as you have noted, I'm going to stay on theme for this one, so I'll pass .....

Cheers

Brian?

Any interest in these?

Price is negotiable, they're cluttering up a press in the kitchen.

TheBlaaMan

Thanks @Brian?, but not for me.

Meant to add that I'm also on the look-out for a stem top cap for a 1 1/8" steerer . Something interesting and different would be good. For a Colnago. Ta

TheBlaaMan

Sorted for a stem, but still looking for a stem cap......a nice Colnago one would go down well, if anyone has a spare one lying around???
