Some of you may have noticed "Coming Soon" on the SimWorks product page, but the AnnaLee has finally been updated and is back in stock!
SimWorks by Nitto “Anna Lee Stem” ¥13,000 (tax excluded)
Featuring a 1-bolt closed clamp and a 72mm stack height, there are no blind spots in the AnnaLee's perfect aesthetic beauty and finish. It is truly the fruit of SimWorks and Nitto's labor; through repeated testing, we have ensured sufficient durability and clamping torque. We tested and refined it time and time again to achieve this. Beyond just beauty, ensuring safety is their top priority (in fact, the Classic Stem that was planned for release from Cielo could not pass the tests and was unfortunately discontinued; we apologize to those who were considering it). This AnnaLee is truly the one and only modern chromoly stem.
Replacing your existing stem requires the trouble of removing your bar tape and levers, but it is precisely because of that effort that your cockpit will look beautifully clean. Of course, we are more than happy to handle the replacement work for you. It might also be fun to take the plunge and have it paint-matched to your frame.
In addition to 75-degree and 90-degree angle settings, it is available in extensions from 80mm to 120mm.
Material : CrMo Steel

※For safety reasons, please use this product only for on-road and cross-field riding.
Also, the classic SimWorks road bar “Misirlou” has added new 450mm and 470mm widths to its lineup! They were introduced in response to the passionate requests of taller riders like Rick Hunter, who was visiting Japan recently, and Curtis of Retrotec. The 470mm is one of the largest sizes among currently available road handlebars.
The 450mm is already on sale, while the 470mm is expected to arrive around mid-January.
For taller riders looking into CX bikes, dirt road bikes, gravel grinders, and more, please keep this in mind as a potential option.
