25.4mm and smaller clamp diameter (look below!)
26.0mm clamp diameter
26.4mm clamp diameter

Quill stems come with different clamp diameters and occasionally different quill diameters.

Common clamp diameters are 25.4 (GB, most Cinelli steel, SR, many French, some Nitto and ITM) 26.4mm (Cinelli aluminium pre-1995 and some Cinelli steel), 26.0mm (3TTT, Mavic, some ITM, some Nitto, post 1995 Cinelli).

I personally think you can use 26.4mm stems with 26.0mm clamp bars but the official recommendation is that 26.4mm stems should be used with 26.4mm bars and 26.0mm stems should be used with 26.0mm bars.

We measure stems centre to centre across the top – this does not always correspond with the manufacturer's markings.

CINELLI STEEL STEMS 25.4mm clamp diameter Most Cinelli steel stems have a 25.4mm
The first parts Cinelli made were bars and stems back in the 1940s. They quickly gained a repuation for being beautifully made.
