Wanted A very, very long shot.....

[Sir Neil d'Menture]

BITD Cinelli stems used to be supplied with a little plastic insert that fitted into the top of the long bolt.
Does anybody have one?
I know, OCD but I'd like one if possible.
Pic here showing the bolt in question.


Yes, I'm a saddo.

I don't remember them having one

 

[Sir Neil d'Menture]

I'm talking about a long time ago.
When I was young. And I'm well past my alloted span.

One on pic does not have one, you need stem where bolt is lowered by roughly 1/4" into the stem. There are several versions, not all interchangeable

3ttt used to use them, I don't remember cinelli stems having those though

I remember having one recently, probably fell into the mess box of doom though.

 

[Sir Neil d'Menture]

Maybe my memory is not what it was. They did exist, but they never stayed in very long.
Guess my OCD will have to go unsatisfied.
C'est la vie.

Bolt caps are available at all bolt stores or on ebay....normally sold in 10s for very little cash.

No me neither and I've been club cycling since late 70s
I mean 1As, 1Rs and XAs, don't know about other cinelli models
