That looks like it could be an Ambrosio stem.

While we're identifying stems, can somebody identify the stem underneath th e cool Masi decal?

That's a Fiamme stem all right, but what I want to know is, how in the hell did someone get those bars into that stem?

Because, I have tried, numerous times, to get my fiamme bars into a similar stem; it appears impossible, even with the Nitto stem pry. I'm assuming Fiamme made stems with more than one bar-clamp diameter.. that's the only thing that explains it.

I sure wish I could mate up those bars and stem though; lovely combo..the fiamme bars are the prettiest around, imho.

Whose Masi IS that anyway??!!! Nice bike!
