I have obviously offended the Cycling God (who we all know is Italian) or maybe my Cinelli SC is sick of me on our first anniversary together, but today near the end of an otherwise perfect 45-mile run, my Cinelli 1A stem BROKE. Yep, Cinelli makes a Death Stem. A rather unpleasant sounding "CRAAAACK" as I was crossing a street via a wheelchair ramp on a cycle path. Cracked at the bottom rear clamp, sheered straight across. Fortunately this happened at slow speed.

So... I find myself looking for a

Cinelli 1A 90-95 mm old logo stem, the kind that takes the older black allen bolt in the front of the stem (I am not sure if the actual stem is different or just the bolt) in NOS or very good condition.

So.. I guess I am back to riding my Peugeot PX-10 when not feeling British and she, of course, has an AVA "Death Stem". Hmmm...
