unfortunately I just sold my 87 Sirrus Frame and included the stock bars and stem otherwise I would have sold you this stem.
Mine was a 56 cm bike which is why I sold it

my 85 Allez has it as well as my 88 Allez.
maybe someone else with an 87 can chime in. Mine was a bit of a Frankenbike. Some stuff on mine was not original.

I knew the bars had to be Nitto made, despite being unmarked. The drops feel just like other Nitto bars I've had on other bikes.,,,,BD

Woohoo, found some white perforated vinyl bar tape. Probably bike ribbon, but it wasn't shown in the package on the website. Also ordered a 26.0 Origin 8 road stem in silver. Some acetone should lose the logos. Just couldn't justify a Nitto. If I decide to keep it maybe in the future. It will get the bars closer in and look great.
