Warning: shill alert. New schwag. KCNC stems

Warning. This is not a shill free zone.

I just received a KCNC SC Wing stem for my Look build in progress. This thing looks beautiful. Almost like an Art Deco sculpted piece of jewelry. Hard to tell from the pictures, but the design is etched into the metal, with an off white coloration. This stem is museum worthy. Smooth lines. Very happy customer here.

Your headset is loose.

Lets see the rest of the bike.

I don't think there is a spacer below the stem

^^^ Correct. It is loose and no spacers yet. Not finished. Very soon though, very soon.

It looks like just about every other stem on the market.

I would take a Sharpie and fill in all the ghetto etching from a Taiwanese school child.

I don't see what's so special; it's a machined aluminum alloy stem like my ITM millennium 4EVER (which I think looks better). But I am so glad you (the OP) like it enough to start a thread about it (really, I am); I appreciate bike love, kinky as that may sound.

The guys on the WW forum would appreciate more. It's a light stem. Congrats.

Is it typical for the torque specs to be engraved on like that? Speaking as someone who's stripped a few threads in his time, that's kind of cool.

I fit in a lot easier than my old fsa carbon post which took a lot to get out and got very scratched up, this post doesn't seem to scratch easily either. I set it up well but I bought a new stem and bars so it'll take some riding to get everything adjusted properly. The clamp is a little hard to set up due to trying to get clearance for a hex key but it's a lot more adjustable than my old one, and once it's set up, you're done anyway.
