Cinelli Grammo Titanium Road

Price Paid:  $0.00 at online somewhere

Favorite Ride:

Bike Setup:
-

Summary:
I have had this mounted on my look hsc-3 fork for almost 3 years. I am not sure what the other folks are talking about in terms of looks... Compared to all the black, Deda Newton clone stems out there, this is style. Nothing beats the sheen of Ti on any frame. Problems: Having a single bolt holding the stem to fork being all the separates me from certain doom is a little disconcerning. It has never failed me and I try not to think about it. The other issue is having to completely redo handlebar tape everytime I need to remove handlebars (not very frequently).

Strengths:
Light. Ti Stylely. Doesn't look like every other doods stem.

Weaknesses:
Single bolt. Slide through access. Pricey.

Summary:
very low on looks and styl;e for a cinelli and WHY do they use a slide0-wedge instead of an expander? not good on many forks.
What is the appeal of this thing?

Cult following of Cinelli

Style not, no face plate, wedge not expander

Summary:
It's light and works well. Being Ti, it should last.

I can flex the heck out of it on a stationary trainer, but don't notice it on the road or rollers. Expensive. Single bolt, so not easy to remove bars.
