Got a new bike, it's all black but with silver stem bolts which my OCD can't live with. The only black bolt choice is then Ti.
Where can I order narrow head (max 8 mm wide) M5 titanium bolts? Ideally 15 mm long, but can cut longer bolts down to size. Ideally with washers but can also buy them separately.
Also found them here, but at €11 a pop!? https://www.jaeger-schrauben.de/Titanium/bolts/Titan-TCK-specialcolors::974.html
The jaeger ones are listed as 8.5mm; if that's ok, r-2 bike has them in black at €3.2 apiece: https://r2-bike.com/Titanium-Screw-M5x15-conical-black .
l.e. Alloy bolts in a stem is asking for trouble.
Quite a few options here:

Probolt? Says 8.5mm Ø though.

They have -S designated ones that are 7.9mm wide, anything over 8 mm will not fit my stem unfortunately. 8.5 mm is the standard width.
Stem bolts are not something I would mess with.
Maybe I should just buy a new stem that comes with black bolts and save some money :p
This is £15
Nevermind, bought a new stem :p
Got a new bike,
Is this the aero commuter?
Try uberbikecomponents.
No good for a stem but if you really want to save weight and fill some frame holes I got these
