Please suggest interesting threadless stems
Most standard threadless stems are basically butt ugly collections of pipe and bolts. I have a collection of classic, semiclassic, and semi modern bikes. As I convert to threadless, I would like some interesting options. Photos much appreciate.
Thanks,
RFC

The Thomson is pretty classy. I like the faceplate quite a bit.
The Extralight is very clean and minimal (obviously):
I've had the hardest time deciding on a stem for my new build, but I went with an Oval R900. The bolts go in the other way, so there's that lol

3T More Stem (retro)
Too heavy for my tastes, but I'm digging the style a lot.

AX Lightness - Zeus Stem
(oh, btw - if it isn't vapourware, it will cost more than most of your bikes combined)

Looks like some of the photos Mario used to tape to his bikes.

lots of framebuilders out there will make stems. Can be expensive. Example here
Many framebuilders will only sell stems with frames.

Flickr is blocked at my work and I've seen the "ball peen hammered" stem. Very lovely.

I liked my Thomson a lot until the faceplate cracked (yes, it was tightened to spec). It's a very nice looking stem.
I'm happy with my 3T ARX pro.

The Nitto CT-80 is a fillet brazed steel track stem, it's doesn't have a removable face plate for added stiffness.
