    love that stem. I sense you'll personally bankrupt yourself by finishing kit addiction.

    130g for a stem? Heavy! ;) Still, nothing wrong with pimping out the bike!

    99% of carbon stems are way too soft and heavier than their aluminium counterparts. I hate flex from the frontend, especially out of the saddle.

    What problem don't you see? Had anyone actually said there was a problem? Had anyone derided the bike in anyway or are you just a bit sad and angry today?

    I've had the 100g scandium one before but wanted something abit stiffer. Its not a race bike, its infact very comfortable to spend all day on :D

    Stiff + light = Ritchey WCS C260 ;)

    Nice to hear that you prize proper function over saving 30 grams.

    That means I'm a tart too 'cos that looks good. Not generally a fan of white finishing kit but you've pulled that off a treat.

    I love tarting up bikes. I see no point in going from 105 to Dura-Ace for myself because it will not make me faster or better, but some bling is always in order!

    Looks good!
