Price Paid:  $70.00 at LBS

Favorite Ride:
When I want to ride.

Bike Setup:
2005 Felt CA1

Summary:
Compared to Deda Newton/Zero100,It is a bit flexy for me.First,I build my bike with this Stem and Deda Supernatural handlebar,but I find that the bar is too stiff tomake the stem hard to handle it.Then after hundreds of miles, I replace my bar with Pedalsoft Elf,the condition didn't changed.So I replace this Stem.

Strengths:
Lightweight.my 10cm stem comes with a 110 grams weight.
Beautiful,quite classy like the stem on the old steel bikes.
Can use for carbon handlebar.it's a big advantage,but I never use carbon handlebar with it.Aluminum is solid and reliable.

Weaknesses:
a bit flexy for my weight.( I weigh around 58 kilograms.)
and somewhat pricy...

Summary:
I have been using the stem for around three months now and have had no problems and consider it to be a great product. The stem is very light and clamps both the stearer tube and handlebars firmly without having to be over-tightened. The gloss finish of the stem is also very good and hard wearing. I recomend this stem %100

Strengths:
Light weight
Good finish
Good selection of sizes
Ti bolts

Weaknesses:
None
