I guess the one in the auction also differs in having a vertical rather than horizonal bar clamp bolt, so they are different models, but I don't know that one type was any more reliable than the other. BTW, I've seen nearly identical stems to both models marked with another brand or with no brand.

I don't think that one is the "death stem". Take a look at the pictures here:

>>>>>Anyone care to ID whether this is or is not the AVA stem that was known to break? I don't have any first hand experience with breaking the style shown in this auction.
