Sorry, replied to wrong post...the one on skollie's bike...looks like the ANSWER DJ stem....

 

Yep, The Rove. It's the 35mm version. Prettiest stem I ever saw and snagged it like 5 minutes after the ad was posted. I may be imagining but I can almost feel how wide that stems clamp on the bar is when I ride it.

 

It did come with its own challenges though. You can't see it from the pic but the csixx carbon spacer on top had to be filed to a specific curved shape to fit the contour of the stem. A spacer simply would not sit flush on top. Probably intended for use with just the top cap above it. But I was rolling with a flat bar that had enough spacers beneath it and I wasn't going to settle. Took me like an hour to get it to fit snug.

 

Turned out nice enough in the end.

New Lyne Components 150mm dropper fitted, fork serviced and rear shock tuned by Stoke. Ready for some shedding this weekend if the biokineticist gives the all clear! Braaaaaaaaaaap 54cc9c0b847ab11fe62a32db0992ea58.jpg
