As 'cp' says, they were serious bits of pro-rider type kit back int day.

the nowaday stuff seems well finished and reviewed aswell.

It's a nicely made stem, not too light looks different, works just fine.

Is the size of the hulks fist though.

I run one of these and they are awesome stems super stiff and great clamping area for your bars they are much better in the flesh, seriously bling and more importantly you are not a SHEEP!

Thanks for the advice. From the pickies I was kind of hoping it to be light; I rushed into buying an Easton Vice (from off STC) and it's simply too 'Burly' for my All Marketing rig (XC tbh). Ideally, I was after an Easton 50mm, light as to match things up but they don't seem to produce one.

BTW, when I do change the vice 1st shout gets the easton free...as it was only a tenner.
