nail polish and 15 seconds of rubbing removes the decals since a plain stem is always better looking than any stem with a bunch of graphics.
Lighter and cheaper than the Ritchey WCS and most any other aluminum or carbon stem ive come across.


The Ritchey WCS stems do have that unique holding shape that apparently reduces stress on the bars. So thats cool.
I have bikes with Ritchey cockpits...minus stem since, you know, $25 and 113g is better than $160 and 126g.
