I just knew there was a damn good reason to pick up that used 110mm
one on EBAY 4 months ago. I'm sure it didn't have any reason to do
with the fact that it's the best looking production stem available.
And I have just the right new custom bike "almost" in my possession
right now

I am pretty sure I remember reading way back that the lugged stem is
very very strong. I think this was back when Rivendell first stocked
them and before their long out-of-stock status--maybe '01-02-ish. If I
remember correctly (which I most likely dont), when Nitto was testing
them for strength th

I don't have a lugged stem (I'd like a riser threadless one with
inverted lugs, though). I tried a Technomic Dlx and Nitto Dirt Drop
before switching to an old steel Salsa quill stem on my Quickbeam.

either of those.

I don't know about weight, length, or any real specifications that
make them different. I have two lugged stems on two different
bicycles; on my Rivendell custom all-rounder, and one on a custom Curt
Goodrich. I have regular Nitto stems on my Atlantis and on another
custom Rivendell road bike.

I own two. No idea on weight. They look great. Enough said.

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.
As far is stiffness, etc. - I wouldn't be
I bought a used one, as that's the only way I could justify it :-)
The quill seems to be a bit taller (maybe around 10mm???) than a Technomic
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?
Don't know. But they ARE absurdly beautiful.

$100 I paid for it. It looked as good when I sold it as it did when I

I'm sure he was referring to the fact that it will set you back a lot more
money that a regular Nitto stem.

The most noticeable thing to me (and i don't have one) is it appears
to have more setback than the Technomics.
No idea on strength.
