I sold the 800 but my wife still uses one. The 810 just adds the livetrack feature via bluetooth which is pretty trick if someone wants to monitor your ride. The 800 and 810 both have the mapping feature that is nice to have when you are riding in different places.

I'd like to lick it . . .

Need a Cinelli Grammo in 10 cm (or 9). Will pay market or trade a perfect 12. Ebay prices on these thru the roof, so I know I'll have to bend over. Would prefer plain ti but would consider the "art" anno. Any leads?

Greg, I used to sell Grammo stems as an outside sales rep. I would tell you that this was the number one product that I've seen fail that never was recalled. Very pretty piece of kit and I would own one on a show bike. All that I have seen broken have never failed 100% but have ripped at the steerer insert to the extention and most of the rips would render the ride done for the day.

I wouldn't ride a bike with one.

It that a Threaded or treadless?

I have a TTT ti quill 100mm stem. Used it a few times and had to change it because it was too short for me.

Jim, was that the threaded or not?

I should say, threadless or quill

Jim Bremner 03-25-2013 09:08 AM

Oh, good, I have a 120mm threadless Grammo stem on my look I have beat on for years. Thankfully that didn't bust on my on a sprint. One good thing about those ti stems are that they all clean up with a little metal polish and it looks like brand new.

Their best looking stem has to be their Pinocchio stem. I wish I still have it.

Mine is a quill. I guess I should just sell it, as they're going for 250-500 on ebay.It does look gorgeous.

Nice, very nice, full restoration? I want one. I let one pass a few months ago, I am still kicking myself. Is it in the original color?

NO, not original colour mate.

2013 11 speed Athena running gear.

Should go alright amongst the carbon boys, and I'm happy to be on a 32 year old, hand built masterpiece. It is a bike with a story............. a soul :)

Joe Bob, don't give up the lane brother! I have found that road cycling allows me to practice patience and tolerance. But most importantly it has peaked my assertiveness, I have been hit by a right hook, not fun.
