Love retro builds and the weight of this one is a fantastic achievement.
I am building something similar and have a question about using carbon bars with the Grammo stem (?) The clamp is quite sharp on the edges and my concern would be concentrating the load on a small area of the bar - would this be a problem?

Not sure how I missed this bike it looks amazing. Would be cool to try and ride an old bike like that and see how it does.

Dear All,

Just check the forum,
Thanks for all comment to this bike so far..

@dadoflam : So far, the 182gr Easton EC90 have no issued paired with the Cinelli Grammo stem. I used this bike for hard and all round training including cobbles around my city.
This bike build up at May 2014 and the odometer closed to 5000km now. No problem! Btw I have 2 Easton EC90 25.4 bar and still on good shape at the stem clamps.
I am 61kg Now with 167cm H.

@CBJ : Thanks and thanks, I love this bike too.. Remained me to 1996 while my 1st eddy merckx Motorola SLX steal in my Campus in Bandung, I cried and then missed to ride my classic merckx. Over 15 years waiting until my old friend in Bandung City called & sell this bike in late 2013.
I'm so lucky to have this beautiful beast. I build with UCi Legal 6.8kg project to match modern competitions bikes setup.
Always feeling so great on this historical bike. Even I keep all Motorola Jersey, Caps, Cinelli Helmet & Gloves to ride on Sunday morning.

Cheers
