I have a Nitto Noodle 26.0 bar on mine. Actually, I'm currently using a nice silver ITM quill stem with "Bianchi" pantographed on it, which better suits my Bianchi both in terms of said pantographing and the fact that it's silver. But the Motus is a cool-looking mofo of a stem, though. I kinda wouldn't mind putting it on again. Shrug.

Now that I think about it, I'm quite sure mine cracked for two reasons: 1) the bad design, of course; and 2) a 10 km-section of really rough chipseal-like road that had been redone without my knowing it (and without my knowing where it would end). That damn section of road was harsh enough to loosen my headset, and I do recall hearing some creaking in the bar after that. Lesson learned: stay away from chipseal!
