<snip>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?"

OK I've vented, I feel better now, thanks.

Couldn't agree more! That stem should be the definition of ugly in the dictionary. In fact I can't think of any Cinelli product that wasn't a carryover from before the transition to the 'Flying C' logo that can't pretty much be written off aesthetically. Heavenly to hideous by and large, like a switch was flipped!
