I am a fan of the grammo too, and have an 'art' grammo stem on my Stephen Roche steel bike. The spec of the Pinarello Banesto team frame when sold as a complete bike in 1993 was a Cinelli XA.

Build updated with Grammo Art stem, Deda Spectrum Carbon handlebars and Ksyrium ES Anniversary wheels. See it on Stephen Roche steel classic bikes website: http://stephenrochebikes.wordpress.com/my-bikes/

Liking the Stephen Roche/Carrera bike very much. Nice build More info on this frame and others from Stephen Roche here: http://stephenrochebikes.wordpress.com

Re: Gavr goes Italian - Tommasini Super Prestige 1990 - comp Great attention to detail with the tape and the T handlebar inserts. A beauty to behold indeed!

SLK Saddle Checked Evans site and not listed. Think you must have misread it for an SLR. Thanks :cry:

Good news on the Roche fork: sufficient steerer to fit a threaded headset and sufficient threading. Confirmed that the BB is Italian threaded too. The Tommasini has spacers so that the steerer tube didnt need cutting. This is how it came to me. A few purists wanted to see it kitted out...

Ti Stems Grammo stem too long for me I am afraid . Mcmahon stem not quite what I am looking for. Thanks Ill keep looking Mike

Roche Frame Ive posted the details on a couple of forums as of yesterday for help. Taking great care on the bike stand (minimal pressure!). I did as much research as I could on it before buying: there's no info on Stephen Roche Bikes before 2000 (I found archived webpages of Stephen Roches...

WTD: Selle Italia SLK NON-GEL leather saddle (See pic) with carbon wrapped rails Bought one of these as NOS in 2009. Very comfy. Need to find another one!

Eclypse Stem Thanks for your reply: Are you are sure its Titanium? The ones I have seen listed on Ebay are "Titanium finish" i.e. not titanium but CroMo. See link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/itm-eclypse-racin ... 1e5faefc89

Wanted NON-oversize handlebars in full carbon e.g. Deda Spectrum. Must weigh-in less than 220g (manufacturers claimed weight) Width 42-44cm (outside to outside) in VGC. Thanks, Mike
