The Anna Lee Stem, popular in the SimWorks by NITTO lineup for its beautiful fillet-brazed finish, is now available in a 26.0mm bar clamp diameter version!
In fact, this stem was born out of a very specific request from Kyle at Golden Saddle Cyclery, a premier SimWorks dealer in the U.S., who wanted a cooler way to mount the SW60 Too Smile Bar to his own All-City Space Horse.

For steel bikes with slim top tubes, pairing them with a 26.0mm center diameter handlebar—like the SW51 Getaround Bar or the SW60 Too Smile Bar—provides a sense of security and just the right amount of flex for ultra-long-distance rides like the touring seen in the video, helping to reduce rider fatigue.
Whether it’s the familiar Surly Pacer,
the Cielo by Chris King Sportif,
or bikes like the Breadwinner Continental, achieving a clean, slim cockpit helps to further refine the classic look characteristic of chromoly steel bikes.
