I picked it up from a friend of a friend so I can't definitively comment on whether it is authentic or not. I have an email out to Enve and will report back with their comments. I am a bit hesitant to use it, more for fear of uneven headset preload than structural integrity of the stem.

I appreciate all the commentary, as usual.

i'd almost venture a guess that the 'deviation' was caused by a cheap carbon spacer on the top or bottom, with a burr, that just kind of wore the recess into it...
but, that's just a guess.

The 'joke' is -'pal' would just use things that some others might have questions about. Cracked, broken, rusted, dented..to give the poor dears a home..
BUT that stem looks OK to me but things that you 'touch', be careful..breaking those(seat post, stem/handlebars, pedals/cranks) can really hurt.ask George Hincapie..

Following up on this:
Enve said they would take it back as a warranty item if I can provide proof of purchase. I'll do some digging around for it with the original owner but I think I may be out of luck.

Machining/facing carbon, especially uni-direction, is tricky. It will splinter and pull off more material than you are hoping.
To repair is correctly you'd want to get some resin/epoxy and fill the deviation, sand down once its cured. Probably not worth the hassle. |
