<------------------ SOLD ------------------> Cinelli 1R stem - 100 mm / 22.2 mm - post 1978 (USED)
Cinelli model 1/Record (1R) - aluminum alloy - Clear anodized finish - 22.2 mm quill - 26.4 mm size clamp - 100 mm length - patented single bolt hidden non-quick release - post 1978 Columbus era "winged Cinelli" top logo and "flying āCā" front logo - model 1/Record (1R) : Cinelli "lightweight" stem bolt hardware - aluminum alloy - M8 x 135 mm SHCS stem bolt and cone ... [USED - this Cinelli model 1R stem is in excellent state with all hardware present and in proper working order - there are precious few insertion marks to be found with but a singularly minor example that exists above the minimum insertion line (...it is barely noticeable unless viewed at a specific angle) - any other imperfections to the anodized finish of this stem are so slight as to likely be of little concern for anything other than the most fastidious "show bike" (...the only way my eyes can discern them is with benefit of magnified reading glasses with the stem held within eight inches of my nose) - all piece parts have been carefully disassembled, cleaned, inspected, and then reassembled WITHOUT benefit of lubrication (...which means that one would be well advised to apply a dab of molybdenum or white grease to the internal clamp parts and cone wedge as well as lightly coat the lower threads of the aluminum stem bolt with anti-seize compound prior to actual use)]
