I need a new stem for the road bike (black and white gloss) and this seems a bargain £30 from Wiggle.
But is it gopping or what?

Implied olympic rings too.

You'd have to ride it with a replica yellow jersey.

Yes it's gopping.

But you could repaint it.

Yes it is hideous, but as it will be on a road bike it'll be fine.

Does the fact that it would be going on a winter road bike with mudguards help?
Surely an ironic gesture....

Love 3T stuff, have stems and bars on both my MTB and CX.

ARX team range cheap with "normal" colours. Would be OK on a bike which was based around white, however with everything, its on sale for a reason.

Matching bars and post as well?

a proper winter bike should have no colour scheme. it should be made up from practical items all of which must be from the sales.

Or from parts bins/friend's cast offs etc.

Agreed.

For a winter hack, it's perfect.

I think its fine,got a white Deda stem on my roadie goes with the lovely matching white Deda bars.
If you like it get it,the Ti bolts agree worth £10-15 on there own.

The thing must be taken deep into the factory and cast back into the fiery chasm from whence it came.
