I want something that wraps neatly around the steerer and bars

like this?

Direct mount, but that ENDH baseplate could help there…

WTF!

I just went for a nice simple plain black S-Works stem.

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.

I think Hope have a new one coming out.

The Hope gravity stem?

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.

And now I want a Ti top cap

Titanium Top Cap

These are lovely I may just have a spare one should anybody be looking for one.

Yes please. How much posted?

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