Price Paid:  $31.00 at ebay

Favorite Ride:
Flat and fast

Bike Setup:
lemond with DA

Summary:
Ive always been skeptical about people saying that carbon bars and stems really smooth out the road that much. Last year i finally bit the bullet and bought an easton ec90 carbon bar.. and it really didnt make much of a difference. After talking to people.. i finally found a good deal on this EC70 stem.. and that was KEY. This thing makes such a huge difference. It looks great, is pretty light, and REALLY soaks up road vibration. Hands get much less fatigued, and at that price i couldnt not buy it.

Strengths:
Looks, vibration dampening

Weaknesses:
none so far though ive only had it about a month

Favorite Ride:
My morning commute

Bike Setup:
17.6lb SC-r with pedals and polar. Campy Record everywhere.

Summary:
This stem is very solid, damps road vibration well, and looks great with my EC90 bar. I probably would have bought another Thomson post exept that when I bought this Thomson hadn't come out with their OS stems yet.

Strengths:
This thing is strong, I'm 180lbs and I haven't felt any flex at all in it. It's also very good at soaking up vibration. The clamps are very solid, no slippage at all yet.

Weaknesses:
It's not cheap, and there are lighter posts out there.

Similar Products Used:
Thomson, cinelli, specialized, race face and many others.
