i like the look of the bikeyoke stem. matching the stem to the seatpost is more appealing to me than stem to bars. don’t have a bikeyoke seat post, though…
fancy stems are god’s way of telling you that you have too much money.
that would explain why the local crackheads have such nice bikes!
For me the nukeproof horizon or raceface turbine R are both well made, beautifully engineered and lovely to look at, especially in the anodised colours. I’ve found no reason to look further, the thought of sliding a riser bar through those one piece stems causes anxiety, no thanks.
