Anyone have a "Origin8 Classique Sport" stem? pics?
Just wondering if anyone has pics of a "Origin8 Classique Sport" stem.. all i can find online are stock photos. I want to know how the cable routing is and how it looks in general. i don't really like the bulge at the top but it's the only stem i've found that has a cable stop and a removable faceplate with a 25.4 clamp diameter, AND in the reach i would like...
thanks
thanks

Looks like a kalloy product. I am sure it is solid, but heavy. I bet the cable stop works just fine. However, if you are setting up cantilever brakes I would always recommend a fork mounted cable stop to increase braking performance and reduce/eliminate shudder.

i'm happy with the braking with the current stem mounted cable stop, but using a fork mounted stop does open more options (though costs even more $)
