What do you guys think about the SR AEROX M stems ? Better or worse than a 422, or just a bit more of a racey look ? I’m considering a build and seen one up for grabs. What say you ?
-
I like both stems. I guess the 422 has a bit of 'baggage' shall we say but I still have a couple and the painted ones are super clean looking. The AEROX stem is more fussy looking but looks more trick. Neither stem should cost a great deal, both are overlooked and often maligned but bugger that.

Underrated and came on bike shop spec quads in the States in 83!
Love an Aerox!

Thanks for replying guys, I think it looks cool as fook and might go for it.

I like them both. :daumenhoch:

Both are nice :daumenhoch:

I’ve used 422’s on many builds, powdered up or polished they look great and are a pretty solid stem. There is a lot of anti-Burner snobbery surrounding them, but I never let that stop me. They’ve gone up oin price over the last couple of years I notice.

I’ve got a couple of 422’s and have just bought a 420 for my silver streak build. Easy to restore and cheap as chips. As Dan says seem to bringing a little bit more than they used to but if you look around can still be bought for around the £25 mark. Been a couple of Aerox stems up for £40 recently. SE and GT both to name a few used SR parts so can’t be that bad :daumenhoch:

Thanks again guys. I’ve bought a SR aerox stem listed as nos which still needs to be shipped. I looked at the pics again and thought FOOK. This looks painted and not anodized! Did they come in both finishes or just ano ? Them bolts aren’t marked either ! Does this look refurbished rather than nos ?

SR stuff usually come painted. Even their chainwheels have a 'ano-look' but it is a painted treatment.
I do not know if this is true of all SR bits but certainly true for many.

Yep... and it's a fooker to shift whatever it is. :-\

Ok I’m slightly more reassured now. What do you think about the pic though ? Does it look like the real deal ?

Yep just stripped a blue stem, tried oven pride first as I thought was ano. Then got the synstrip out which didn’t even shift all of it!

Phew, I overpaid for this because I was out bid on fleaBay for a silver one. Black is my colour though !
I've drooped you 2 links for your Sugino opc btw
