: [CR]Is this the AVA death stem??


> I found this listing amusing, and then scary. Check out the bottom left picture of the stem. Anything look wrong to you? Is it just photography?) I don't think this is the famous AVA death stem, I think this is one of the lower end AVA stems. Also, nice leather saddle, I think this is exactly what Sheldon Brown warns about the low cost leather saddles ruining the reputation of the good ones.

The model numbers he lists don't make any sense , MX -8, MX-10? It looks like an early to mid 70's low end UO something..
