I think he wants a stem in the middle ground, not as expensive as a thomson but not as cheap as a kalloy OEM.

Regal saddle. fits me much better than the '90 Flite. and the texture keeps me from sliding around.

I didn't buy them from there, just wanted a pretty picture. I was about to order them from Scrod but a friend of a friend bought the only track bike store here in town, so I wanted to throw them a bone (and they semi hooked me up)
also ben's has a 15% coupon available right now.
