OK GREAT NEWS! From the feedback I have been given from you all on this thred abou the stem, I have been in the machine shop all afternoon. The stem model that you have all seen WILL NOT BE SOLD Im not saying that it wasnt totally strong. We have come up with the BEST modifications according you your responces on both visual and strength aspects. These photos of the final stem will be posted tomorrow afternoon and I am almost 100 percent on the fact that you will much approve of this new design. For all of the respectable feedback with the first model throught the thread I thank you and incourage this. For people who just make fun of things that people are trying hard to make, This is not cool but it does not affect my fellings very much. Thanks to those like couch and byke and the others that have made good points, and I have responded to your advice. The stem photos will be posted tomorrow afternoon and I am taking down that current pics of the stem right now. Thank you. Marcel-
stem looks decent to me. similar to my bizhouse which Ive had about 6 years, no probs. What grade Al? get any extras done? I like the way the edges look smoother than the bizh.
to be honest the design on the stem seems great. i dont have nearly as much as expirience as these guys, but you said you'd release as stem with a good, solid, simple, design that works best, and if the bizhouse offers all that, then why not release an updated bizhouse?and i guess i see what they mean about the different reach stems, but if the stem body was made longer for the longer models if wouldnt affect correct?(although that would defeat the point cause then its not adjustable)
