nice!
Saw one of those stems in a bike mag ad, the other day.

That is nice.
Just one thing - the radial spoking on the front with what looks like 32 spokes and a small flange, run on a rigid fork, looks like it could be problematic. Have you checked that the hub is approved for that lacing? I only ask because I had a very similar set up and it caused me a cracked flange - and that's no fun.

I've thought the same too. I know Bontrager and King did a thicker/taller flange to allow radial lacing, but alas, these aren't that model.
I have cracked a newer Thomson X4 stem though running this setup.
All that said, it's been OK thus far.

If I do it, it'll be 3x.
It wasn't the faceplate but the underside of the stem where it clamps the steerer tube.

Thanks! The Luv handles are great bars.
Next up are some Potts titanium stem spacers to match the stem and frame.
