I'm thinking about a titanium stem, and these folks came up in the search. Good price. Good company? Anyone bought from them?

Never heard of them or seen their stuff anywhere. I cannot seem to find info on them as well other than a generic website and an eBay listing. I don't love companies that replace "C" with "K" it just looks stupid but I cannot find info on them so who knows if it is something to add to the fire or just they are a legit business and they picked a dumb spelling and need to get themselves out there to give them legitimacy.

Website dates as 2023. Could very well be a fly by nite company, could be legit long term. Dunno.

Their Facebook page says they are in Everett, WA, but no address or other contact information. A few grammar mistakes on the website. All warranty claims handled by email.

More importantly, I have a difficult time believing they can offer a ti stem at nearly 1/3 the price you would pay for something like a Lynskey. At least not a high quality one. Stem failure can be catastrophic. What are your medical insurance deductible and co-pay?

As a general rule I won't buy online from anyone who doesn't have a valid address.

Yeah thanks for the feedback folks. Looks a little shaky.

I thought it read Katy Cycling and thus expected the thread to be about riding the Katy Trail. 🤦‍♂️

You can find some mighty similar (if not identical) stuff on AliExpress, so this is either somebody domestically drop-shipping these, or the Chinese factory itself trying create some brand legitimacy.
