| Duration Product Used: | 6 months |
| Price Paid: | $25 |
| Purchased At: | jensonUSA |
| Strengths: | stiff like my dick, light like my nuts (as I am impotent from biking) |
| Weaknesses: | Zero well, the graphics wear off a little |
| Similar Products Tried: | NONAME crap that was ok, just heavy |
| Bike Setup: | S-Works. Can ya dig? |
| Bottom Line: | Nice stuff. Its hard to imagine a nicer stem outside the foolish realm of titanium parts (me and my aluminum parts will take it to you anyday, chumps). Anyway, the graphics have worn off the sides a little, but I do crash alot for a good racer. Other than that, its a darn good part. |
