Modded 3TTT Evol stem!

[Ian Raleigh]

Since I refinished Richard Coid's ROSSIN handlebar stem I've wanted something similar for my GIOS but after months of searching I could only find stems from the 1980's and being my bike is a middle 1990's machine I just didn't want to fit such an old stem to a newer bike, not like many Cinelli stems are not suitable they are and gorgeous they are too but just didn't want to fit one.

Anyway my bike has a nice 3TTT Evol stem and finally found someone who does modern day pantographing but instead of a big heavy weight machine & wood master he uses a PC & laser.

The chap removed the anodising as I asked him to do so as the top of the stem was scratched a bit, then polished up to a high lustre, but he can pantograph without damaging any anodising.

''Bob On'' and I love it.

Very nice job...a touch better than the polish panto butcher

Just a touch! I've seen the Pole and his 'handy work' :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

That looks very well done indeed. Not like the bartape!

To behonest I HATE the bartape :evil: Ripped off some perfectly good white Bike Ribbon and replaced it with the gios gios gios ..GIOS tape and no longer like it.

What do I do! Live with it until it's ruined or buy some Bike Ribbon again :facepalm:
