from Fruita Date Reviewed: August 15, 2011 Strengths: Made in America, and has yet to fail me. Every aspect of Thomsons' stellar reputation is deserved. Set it, forget it, except when you're putting your bike on the rack and realize how beautiful the handmade machinework is. Awesome, awesome stem. Quality through and through. Weaknesses: This stem won't stand up to a 250 lb downhiller. This is NOT the stem's fault. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: The one that is open...?
