   I need a fairly light 70mm stem preferably in wet/shiny black. If it can avoid having reds and yellows and blues all over it i'd be even happier!

   Thanks

   Trying to find a 70mm Thomson in stock is like trying to find a golden egg really.

   CRC have 70mm Nuke proof stems in stock (or at least did a few days ago...)

   Hm nukeproof is matte, heavier than I'd like and has that horrible yellow colour on the side, yes I know sad but I prefer the simplicity of the shiny black/white letters of Thomson. Was looking for something similar.

   Controltech FX is a nice stem and lighter than a thomson

    If you fancy a forged one then Syncros now do the FL in wet look

    18bikes sorted me out with Syncros before. I have and AM stem, which for the short time I've had it for seems to be great.

    Truvativ AKA maybe? Light-ish (160g for my 70mm, almost exactly the same as a Hope) and strong, oh and cheap! I don't think the Team goes down below 75mm but if that's OK then that'd be another option- it's a bit more XC but a lovely bit of kit.

    Kind of at a loss why anyone would spend £60 on a stem myself but hey, if that's what you like...

    That was different, mystery internet stalker, that was addiction

    (it owes me probably around 5 grand all in, not too bad considering the cost of a new one...)
