I love me some Salsa stems. I may switch back to my Easton on the fixed bike to get the road bars a little higher though*, and use the Salsa with my bullhorns so I can switch bars easily when I get bored.
*The fork steerer got cut before I found the perfect stem. Gotta love threadless. *sigh*.

I was wrong. 
$250 for that Coast stem isn't too far off. I priced out a custom Bob Jackson stem to match my upcoming custom frame and it was over $300. That Coast stem may just be the ticket.
