Unfortunately the price of that Pista stem makes it out of the question for me. I'd use a higher stem for road use anyway.

Those handlebars though just seem like an awesome set-up though with the stiff oversize diameter.

That's why they wrote PISTA on it.

It's a sick stem though. Part of what I'm saying is sour grapes because I can't afford it. Generic threadless stems are like $10-$20 and seem to be made in same place as the $100 designer ones.

That Pista angle is unique and not available in a generic stem.
