As for that Stumpjumper, Saturae rims were Primo BITD. I used to have a stem like that although with less reach. I had to use an indoor trainer due to a vertebra fracture and simply couldn't bend over enough to use a conventionally proportioned bike.

As the recovery proceeded, the stem was pushed down until it could go no further and then it was cut off on the bottom inch by inch.
 
Oh man, I needed that laugh, and who knows this might just be a improvement over the original version. Lol.
It should be made official that it's the worst design ever to make it in a reputable brand's production bike.

I never completely understood why nobody liked them until I rode one a few years back. The awfulness of that suspension while not on a perfectly paved road cannot be overstated...
 
Don't think we have to worry about it being sold rather the ad expiring. For me, it's the kickstand that does it. I hear Gary Klein likes his bikes being ridden and not being garage queens but I can't imagine him saying, "Kickstands...now there is an idea I should have put stock on my bikes."
