I think I have finally nailed down the right stem for my new-to-me Legend: it would be matte black, 90mm, +/- 17, alloy. I have been using very cheap stems to experiment, but now it's time to get something nice. I'd like to hear opinions about the coolest looking stems with minimal, no, or easily removable logos. Specs as above. Thanks.

I have seen the others, but not the Zipp. Very nice; thanks.

no big deal, just different than 98% of what turns on most bikes.
Thomson stems are not matte, subtle logos, gorgeous, understated.

Agreed with the Zipp, I Run the previous years model and the subtle logos are great looking and classy.

They are a nice change of pace from most company's white logos plastered all over the stem.

Agree with the all black zipp stems. I have them on 2 bikes and no complaints. Another option is to get a 3T stem and remove the logos for a stealthy look.
