$105.00 | | Purchased At: | eBay | | Strengths: | Light and stiff, Looks great | | Weaknesses: | Retail is outrageous! | | Bike Setup: | Trek 6k | | Bottom Line: | Matched with carbon bars the bike looks great! A little excessive, maybe. Seeing how I could have had the new Bontrager RXL Aluminum (which is oversized, four bolt, and lighter) for $10. It just wouldn't have looked as good. So so far this splurge is doing its job. But I definitely would not pay retail for this so only 3 chilis for value. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$200.00 | | Purchased At: | ebay | | Strengths: | Strong, stays tight, light, (very bling), works well with my Bontrager XXX Racelite bar. | | Weaknesses: | Too bling? Cost. | | Similar Products Used: | numerous stems, including some good ti stems | | Bike Setup: | Seven Sola ti, Raceface, XTR hubs, SRAM shifters | | Bottom Line: | I have two of these (100 and 120). They are great. They are gorgeous and light, and they are strong. I'd recommend them to anyone but they aren't exactly free. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
