I've had a Syncros quill on my Della Santa for years... For some reason I'm looking for a change and decided that a Cinelli Grammo would look nice. Are they durable and can you still find them around? What other suggestions do you have for a retro steel bike.
Prefer a -17, 120mm quill with 26.0 clamp.
Tks,
Frank

The Grammo can still be found, with some looking, here in the UK.

There are others such as ITM and TTT which would be, as I said depending, on the era of your DS.

I still find the Cinelli XA to be a nice looking stem, stiff and made in 26.0. Again, UK's still a place to find out of production items.

I've never used the Grammo and as always, there have been two sides. Once saying that it's flexible and the other saying that it's fine. FWIW, Chris Boardman used one for years and probably still does, both quill and ahead. Not sure if the model they're selling is 26.0 of 26.4.
