Nice stems v. 2

Well I will not be getting the mystery stem. I just do not want to spend the money and have it not fit correctly in my frame as I am on a pretty tight budget. I messaged the seller and he said he will second chance the other bidder, no problem.

As fate would have it there was a STEEL 110mm Nitto Jaguar up on ebay. This is a true track stem that is way to expensive for me to buy new. It retails from Ben's for $124.99 and I ended up getting it for $69 including shipping. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me. Its technically used, but looks brand new to me. It was even used by a Keirin racer which is pretty cool. Here's a picture of the actual stem from the auction:



- 110 mm
- 58 degree drop
- steel
- 25.4 clamp
- 100% awesome

My wheel guy was supposed to send me a paypal invoice today so I could get my wheel paid for, but he didn't. I'd like to pay for it asap so I don't spend all the money in my paypal account and then have to wait to raise some more. Hopefully he'll send it tomorrow...
