Cinelli Alter Stem
Im building a 1996 italian build. Can anyone tell me what years these Cinelli stems came onto the market?
Also I've read a few reports of them working loose. Has anyone managed to get over this issue?

Odd,
I'm seeing lots of information about the stems online, but no dates.
About the earliest reference I'm seeing is a 2002 RBR review. But that is about the beginning of the website, so it puts it before that date.

Maybe Cinelli would provide information to update the VeloBase pages.

I have an Alter, not sure what year it is, likely 93-94. It is silver alum. w/ blue painted logo. Hardly used when I bought it. I mounted it, used the bike for some photos, took it off. The Alter is like a work of avante garde art. It can stand alone with no other purpose in life.
Is someone looking for an Alter?

I can't give you a definitive answer but I bought one in the 90's. I also got a 'pin-up girl' to go with the stem. I didn't use it for long as I felt it looked too heavy for the bike I put it on.

Cliff,
Velobase probably won't cover that model, its outside of their limit for its year of manufacture. I could well be mistaken, but they are fairly strict on the cut off. I'd think an email to Cinelli might get you better response.
