I ordered this last month and, wow. I was torn between the silver or the back. Both look like a piece of jewelry but I choose black and the way it fits is perfect. The better choice overall for quality, fit and finish, and price.

I've purchased way too many stems in my life. Seduced by the latest and greatest, I've strapped too many to count on my bikes over my lifetime. Cane Creek's is one of the best- and may be the best given it's price. The quality is first rate, the high gloss finish makes it look amazing and the weight of it (or lack thereof) makes it phenomenal. It's a high end stem without the high end price. Highly recommend.

I was astounded how much this stem (50 mm reach) firmed up the front of my bike— in a good way. I was using a random no-name stem to verify the correct rise and reach and when I went to the Cane Creek, there was a noticeable improvement in how solid the front end became. I was surprised and pleased by that and it doesn’t hurt that the stem is so elegant.
