That lovely ‘Campag 80th’ stem isn’t a Dura Ace AX is it Nob?

Yes it certainly is & I do like the AX stems better than the Cinelli 1R’s which is shocking but they do make a strong clamping around the bars & less flex when I was racing.

A series 1 - I always preferred the text on the cap to the later ones with the Cinelli logo.

Yep, not really Shimano then
They’re a beautifully engineered bit of kit. I’m not the big S’s biggest fan, but I used the DA stem because it’s just such a lovely thing.
