Hello folks,
Sorry I didn't write down the numbers, but I did weigh both stems when
I replaced my 10cm Technomic with the 9cm lugged. IIRC the lugged stem
was slightly heavier by an ounce or so (less I think), despite that
it's shorter in both dimensions.

Dlx.
I have a real hard time getting mine tight enough. I really crank down on
the bolt, and it still slides down and sometimes sideways in the steerer.
I bought it, and it's going on a new Atlantis. Its length matches up
well with the bike's Albatross bars. I also have one on my Quickbeam
and one on my Homer, and I smile every time I look at them. Stiffness?

This is a reference to the quote in the March 2nd Looking Through the
Keyhole. I checked my copy of Wind, Sand and Stars and I think
Grant's paraphrase is exact except there is no contraction of "there
is" and a comma instead of the dots. I think that "stripped down to
its nakedness" makes sense
I'm sure he was referring to the fact that it will set you back a lot more
money that a regular Nitto stem.
