cinelli sesamo vintage stem

it was the first open stem ever

i have 2

maybe you're right miro_o but i ride this way for several years and i'm fine with it. ;)

you would die of dehydration then i'm afraid

naaaaaaaaaahh! i use camelback ;)
great eye scorch ;) did you see the stem?

if "she" was mine i'll set her like this

...and than i can say that i have the road bike of my dreams

Large flange Record hub + radial lacing = disaster waiting to happen.

you can bet on that

like alot ;)

Can't beat a bit of autosol and elbow grease!

that pic isn't the final look of the stem
I also used once autosol and the polish look didn't last as long

as you can see it can do "miracles" with used components
this shimano 600 stem was like you can see and after some polishment started to.... bling!!!

what technique did you use?

i used a "esmeril" tool (sorry! don't know the english word)
it's very similar to the pic

great work ;)
i did the same thing to a shimano 600 stem i have.

once i did a stem cap for my dura-ace stem. I did it in aluminium.
I didn't know that there were alot of people wanting caps so i made some...
some users (lfgss) recieved theirs and you can see some pics of the caps working...

i'm asking for 12€ (a cap) + shipping

**12€ (cap) + shipping **

please contact me for PM or email: nocaramos@gmail.com

Curious about those rims/wheels, where can you get them? Related to the Campagnolo Vento's you find all over the place?
Will 16 spokes do for the road (commuter bike) or is it too vulnerable?

i have a gipiemme tecno 416 (also with 16 spokes) set and they are great. Well, i don't have them fixed but singlespeed.

^ new price

If it's good enough for Merckx, it's probably good enough for you.

i don't know about Merckx but it's very easy to see the differences between an aluminum frame and an Easton scandium aluminium frame. The weight is one of those differences.

If it doesn't say Easton on the tubes, the chances are it doesn't contain any Scandium, regardless of labels which seem to suggest it, as Easton have grabbed the vast majority of the very rare element which is released to the non-military market.

all the tubes of the both aluminium frames i have have the Easton logo on it and also the word "scandium"

What's the benefit of scandium?
I've seen a comparison charts of aluminium, steel, titanium and carbon, but not scandium.

you can see some explanation here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandium

the thing i can tell you is that a aluminium scandium frame is lighter than a "normal" aluminium frame. Also alot more robust. I say this only using my experience as argument

£250/300 for a custom Scandium frame is amazing.

yeah! ;)
Well, i know that Valdemiro always gives me great prices. I bought alot of things there and i can't tell you for sure if that is his price for the custom frames. But i don't think it will much higher than that.

^ but remember, without paintjob ;)
