395g! Ok ok, a Technomic is 376g, but longer...so maybe not as overweight? I am glad for options, especially in the quill stem to 31.8 bar arena--very tough nut to crack, aesthetically. So far.....it still needs to be cracked. Or maybe more people need to know about Soma Highway Ones and Nitto Noodles, call it a day, and leave 31.8 bars and stems to those of us that do quill stem conversions for hotrodding vintage framesets (raises hand). I have bounced a quill stem with replaceable (face) plate for a 31.8mm bar design or two around in my head. I need to take that up again. Sometimes I have dreams of doing the VO thing, but a few steps further (make a full groupset) design-wise. I think that would be immensely enjoyable. But I digress...
