Ultimately going to go with.
I need something with a 31.8mm open face clamp. After that, nitto only has their UI-5GX, the thomson-esque UI-252CNC, and the pricey steel craft 5 stem.
VO's normal height threadless stems look cheap and overpriced to me. They seem to just be rebranded el cheapo dimension stems. I appreciate the variety they bring to the table though with their other stuff.
I think Ritchey has just 1 silver stem, the classic.
I've done the silver thomson x2's to death. I want something to change it up.
