I know the modern stem designs are much stronger with the push/pull stresses being perpendicular to 2 or 4 bolts instead of inline to 1 bolt, but I really want to keep the classic look. I have a cheap and ugly zoom stem that has been reliable on another bike, but it's just too ugly and tends to raise the effective bar height. Did Cinelli, 3ttt ever make stems in chromoly versions? The ones I have broken (aside from being used when I got them) were no doubt built for the ultimate in weight savings, and a couple grams, or even kg's, doesn't make any difference to me.
