This is for both the Deda Newton Pista Track stem (retail $110.00) & the oversized Deda Velocita Track Sprinter bars (retail $109.00) in stainless steel. They are being sold as a pair because Deda sizes their bars & stems differently than other manufacturers, so they will only fit perfectly with other Deda products.
These are both nearly new, only used briefly at a few track races. No longer racing track, no need for this nice of a set up. The set up includes an adapter which is necessary for use with a standard threaded headset from older steel frames. If you remove the adapter it can work with threadless headsets, as it was manufactured to be.
From the Deda Elementi website:
STEM
The Deda Newton road stem deserves its reputation around here as the finest stem we've ever ridden or sold: No other stem matches the Newton's balance of lightness, reliability, stiffness, elegance and value. The track version, known simply as the Newton Pista, brings the same qualities to the velodrome. Just like the road version, the Pista is made from CNC-machined 2024-T3 aluminum, and comes equipped with 6Al/4V titanium hardware. It has a stack height of 37mm and weighs 125g.
The Newton Pista comes in a rise of 67 degrees. Think of it as 6 degrees below parallel to the ground -- a negative rise the opposite of you're accustomed to seeing on road bikes. It has a clamp of 31.7mm, making it ideal for use with either of Deda's track bars, the Pista or the Velocita.
The actual weight of the Deda Newton Pista Track Stem: 110mm is 150g.
