^I don't like the look of that cross-section. Sloar, does yours have the same cross-section at the front of the clamp area behind the badge as shown in the link above, and copied below for reference? Nice looking stem (3ttt podium model with a commemorative badge?), but it seems like those channels would dramatically increase the chance of failure--for what, a couple grams at most? (Armchair engineer speaking here.)
