This is the first time I have seen a Cinelli "Domino" stem on a Colnago and, as Grant states below, it too looks rather out of place on this bicycle much like the rims.... Anyone know when these stems were produced and sold? I don't think they were made for very long, as you don't see them very often. Also, were there any earlier attempts by Cinelli (prior to the Domino) to have a front-opening stem for easy handlebar removal?
