thanks, that magenta is a metallic color found on Bentley convertibles from 2015 or so. Be forewarned, searching for Magenta Bentley may yield some NSFW images...

Is that a porn name? Too funny. Red Salsa is the best I have.

Thanks. Doriano and Martina do incredible work. It turned out really nice. RAL 6027 (light green) and RAL 4008 (signal violet). The light green is really close to Celeste Green. A bit more blue in it. But it turned out nice. Brushed titanium for the stays and the forged titanium stem and it will have a matching brushed ti PMP post on it.

Is it similar to the additive 3D manufactured stem made at Sturdy Cycles?

looks like someone 3D scanned the Zipp sl speed stem and 3D printed it with Ti.

It's a forged titanium stem. Shape wise, it's really close to the Zipp stem. Which isn't a bad thing. This is only in a 6 degree angle though since it's forged, it's limited size wise. Beautiful looking and more than stiff enough.

That is a really intriguing stem. Who is the manufacturer? I wasn't able to find that stem with a quick Google.

I have a ti parts maker in Europe who makes them for me. It's a 3/2.5 forged titanium stem and faceplate. We don't need to do 6/4 since it's forged. There's no grain structure to worry about where things would normally fail. And obviously no welds for it to fail at also.

It is a little bit heavier than a welded ti stem though. A Moots ti is about 170 grams for a 110mm stem. This weighs 175mm for a 110mm with titanium hardware. I'm working on some ti-anodized stems and a black oxide one. But they come in bead blasted, brushed or polished finish normally. No graphics. 90 to 130mm in 10mm increments and a 6 degree angle.

Do you think that forged Ti stem will handle duty on a tandem?
