from Alameda CA USA Date Reviewed: December 16, 2002 Strengths: good looks, relatively lightweight, heavily discounted on pricepoint at the time of my purchase ( I bought the set stem+ monkey lite bar for $34) Weaknesses: I bought this item recently from Pricepoint in CA and installed it on a Chris King Headset to find out that the hedaset topcap is not sitting square to the steer tube!! It turns out that the stem is not faced and this is unacceptable to mount on expensive headsets like Chris King. I had to file to make it flat. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $17.00 Purchased At: Pricepoint Bike Setup: santacruz SL frame. Chris King threadless headset
