WTT Nitto Pearl Specialized Panto stem
I bought this from a forum member thinking I would dremel down the pantograph... but wow, this stem looks too nice to start grinding down.
Ideally I want a 26.0 100-110 Cinelli 1A or XA, but I'm willing to consider Italian stems or non panto Pearl as well! Thank you!
(Borrowed the images from the original seller, hope he is OK with that!)

Definitely a good move handing this off to somebody else.
I wouldn't dremel down any pantographing of any sort. It's going to take off too much material to be any more cosmetically pleasing than what it previously was.

I wouldn't touch a Pearl. My two are the best machined, accurate and finished stems I have ever laid hands on. I wish Nitto had left the sides bare, but since they didn't, the "Pearl 12" and 13 will stay.

I think I have the Cinelli stem you need. Is 26.0 the reason you want to trade?

.It's for a Merckx 7-Eleven so I obviously want it to look cool but I feel less stable on less than 42cm.
