Nice Stems – What Options? – Page 2 – Bike Forum

Inspired by the other thread with some luvvely cranks in it, what about stems? Paging @TomHoward 😁 I've been pondering a few options for my next bike build for a while now, and although I'd love a 5dev titanium stem, it's just that little bit too rich for me. But I still really appreciate a nice, unusual stem - you end up looking at it whilst climbing more than almost any other bit of your bike, and although it basically does the same job as any other stem, I want to go with something a little bit more unusual this time round. I currently have a OneUp stem on my FS but my OneUp tool will be going on in my pump mounted to my frame so I don't need to worry about that anymore. On my hardtail I have a DMR Defy 50+, needed for the low stack height and silver/black theme:My next bike will also have a silver/black theme so I was considering a Raceface Turbine R in silver: [urlOr maybe a Chromag HiFi 35 [urlBut currently winning is the Yoshimura ENDH stem - partially because I don't think I'd ever see another one, and also partially because it has 35mm rise along with its 37mm reach and I really fancy having a higher front end - I've got 35mm riser bars already but the new bike will have a similar stack to my current bike. I don't know of any other short stems with that much rise. [urlThey come in a pewter colour so sort of silver. Will need to be imported from the US, around £260 with taxes etc once the GBP has recovered from the current freefall... Also, stem caps. If anyone has some cool/unusual ones, post them too! 😎

I’ve been a bit of a stem tart in the past. Have a Funn crossfire at the moment. Pretty cheap and looks great. Just need it in the next size up!

The Roost Ti stem looks lovely but then you’d have to buy a bar to go with it.

Yes please. How much posted?

This is how it starts isn’t it? I bought a Ti frame and now want Ti bits!
