Title: Stem - S&M or Subrosa?
Post by: punkdSICO on March 30, 2013, 10:27 AM: I'm looking at a NS polished stem for a red Subrosa DTT build. I know jack about NS but after several hundred hours of Googling, the below two seem nice and are similar prices.

Any thoughts? Budget is about 50squid - more than happy to go for a used one but they don't come up often.

Subrosa Hold On (will it look shite having too much Subrosa? My cranks are also Subrosa..)

Or,

S&M Lil Redneck stem

ta,

Paul

Hey dude - thanks for the offer but Im really liking the look of the two above designs so ill be going for one of those (or similar).

Im actually thinking the Subrosa is the one I will go for; coming it at £50 delivered is also a pretty good price.

thanks again,

Paul

Yep, I just did just that! The place I ordered from had a sale and I worried it would end today.

So, Subrosa stem on the way..

Thanks all,

Paul
