I am looking for a good, affordable chrome, threadless stem. I know thomson makes one, but its a lil outside my price range. I am thinking about getting a velo orange stem, but was just wondering if there is anything else out there around the same price and stuff. thanks

civia is the same as origin8 is the same as velo-orange stems

Velo orange stems are the same as origin 8? What?

No, theyre not. The VO stem is much nicer and has flat sides instead of being round and a nicer faceplate.

Civia:



VO:

That was i was thinking, VO's stuff is amazing. Incomparable if anything

VO has the lockdown on the threadless stem market as far as I'm concerned. The tall stack is especially nice looking.

not sure. i have some VO that are the same as my O8/civia stems.

the 26.0 stem from VO is diff (square sides), but the the 25.4 and 31.8 are exactimondo the same

yeah, i really like the tall stack stem by VO. But I like the flat sides that the 26 mm stem. and it does look like only the 26mm stem has flat sides. whats with that?

and scrod, what are your opinions on the crmo lugged straight blade fork you are selling?

I just put on the VO tall stack and the Grand Cru headset I have been harrassing the mailman for. More than happy with the both of them.

if 25.4 is fine, there's a site floating around here that had Thomson's for $35

I always forget they make two different models.

jp - it's the same fork as the one being offered by Soma. It's quite nice.

i am gonna keep an eye out for the thomson stem, thanks. i will probably end up getting the tall stack though. its classy. thanks guys

forget the tall stack. slam dat.
