Do you have a specific price range? Is there much of a used market where you live? I've picked up some nice stems for really cheap on craigslist.
true, but aside from length. they all do the same thing. The difference between steel, AL, Ti, Carbon. etc. Is 99% weight. I mean I could get into a convoluted explanation of the history of stems and the many different configurations of stem and handlebar. But 3 people have recommended 4 different stems. I have a deda magic, feels the same as a 3t, specialized, easton, and fsa stems I have used.
