Stem cost

Looking at various stems in 120mm flavour and see an Enve item for £220 and a Deda at £30.
Is there real justification for the Enve - Ive had Ritchey, Deda and specialized in the past and don't really feel the difference - What am I missing in an Enve at all the money?

If you can afford it then im sure you wont need to justify the price for the enve. If you are experimenting with length and angle, buy the Deda, if its not right you can sell it on for £20.

The Enve stem is cheap.

Some people reach a stage in life where they do actually have more money than sense.

If I had that 600 Euro stem - I'd have to make sure they left the price tag on.

It's a stem ! That's all !

The price difference of £190 would buy you some nice cycling clothing, which would make a much bigger impact to your riding. There is no need to buy anything more than a Deda Zero 100 IMO.

In the 80s you could get a top end stem for £20 - £30
