OK, I think that its awesome, but, and its a little one, the stem, it just sticks out.

Real nice though

yaeh the stem does stick a little, but i just did a puple build and i know how hard it is, your only match would have been a gt mallet f/s stem

i reckon these breaks from the norm are the way to go, i think it looks phenomenal.
