new stem

I am looking at getting a new stem and came across this https://www.coloradocyclist.com/product/item/SNTLBTGK

Is that a good deal? Don't say if it fits because i already know that.

thanks

I'd say it's an "okay" deal. It's really marked down, but I think you could find similar deals on other sites or even ebay for stems of equal quality.

However, if that's the stem you've been shopping for, go ahead and get it.

This is a common "weight weenie" stem. Very light. I think it's a good price.

For that price you can buy a brand new Ritchey WCS alloy stem off ebay from one of a couple of different sellers. Better stem and lighter.
