It's a fillet brazed stem. I would guess a high end stem maybe welded by Ritchey himself. Maybe.

Great score. I love patina so i would not repaint. Tubing stickers seem legit. Serial number should tell model year and size. Build and ride it asap. Then refine the details. A basic m730 would do it justice. BB can be sorted since it's a common issue w/ 80s Fats and the internet can...

Sorry. I never meant to. On the contrary, i admire your builds. I am just not good w words.

tbone stem, roox bar, ss5 levers, xt thumbies, tange headset, xc pro brakes, kool stop pads, xc 9000 pedals, schwalbe smart sam 2.3 and patina everywhere.

Great frame.. first class.

Love this.

Clover leaf was a thing w/ road racing. Not only Colnago. DeRosa had hearts but many builders played w/ those card game symbols .I agree w crimping feelling poor quality.

Love that stem.

It sure is a good looking post.

Fat Chance, on custom order i guess but i have seen a team comp built like that

Sandpaper? Lost cause?

I am interested in the brake shoes. Would you ship outside the UK? Should be a small package.

This is going to be a lovely bike and it may become your favourite. Ugly duck turning into a swan.

Agree on all acounts. If shipping wasnt a beast (i am on another continent) i would buy it now.

Bolts are heavy. Clamp is brutish as well. Otoh it has great design and finish is first class typical of suntour.

It's a very good design and easy to look at but the hardware, bolts mostly, are boat anchors

I have those pedals. Love them. Very light. Didn't know the model name was 9000.

IMO the most beautifull / best ti bikes are/ were Merlin, Moots/ Eriksen, Ibis and Fat Chance. By a healthy margin.

yeah, did something more primitive: first tried a fatter bolt and it broke inside. Next was threading another bolt inside the bolt's alum. mass. I believe it's far beyond a clean helicoil at this point.

The best susp for me now is a fat tire and low psi. I cant stand products that dont last and you cant find parts for. We should not have this kind of bs around bicycles. Dont even bring full suspension... Its not capitalism: suspension does not belong in bicycles. Suspension ruins the ride...
