OK...past aesthetics what is the benefit. Maybe "bad" design is too strong but certainly having less moving pieces makes more sense. If you had multiple bikes with these it would make moving the saddle easier but I would think that would not be a common scenario. I don't have a problem with the stem I am sure it is well made I was just wondering what make one choose this over another and I think the answer is aesthetics (or nostalgia). :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
