Augh! If I ever get a degenerative brain disease that leads me to put something like this on my bike, please shoot me, OK? Steven, I respect you like crazy but this stem is hideous. OK the perky breasts are quite nice, but the overall structural design is everything I hate about modern bikes. "But Mark, other than heavy, flexible, weak and ugly, what's not to like?"
