Which X-lite stem dilemma!!

The L168
it looks great on that!
(is that my old one?)

stem

I'd go for the first one, I prefer the machined look of it!

 

[mountainloz]

the second one is a machining masterpiece, so smoooooth

I don't think either work with the frame sadly, always wanted the second one myself - one day perhaps. Did x-lite not make a normal stem? If not, I'd hunt a pace stem down.

It is if you sold it on ebay a few weeks back, along with some X-lite risers

I'm going to stick with the L168 for now and then see what else comes up

First one
Believe me,the 2nd just does not suit :x

 

[ratcapa]

Neither.

Go for something more simple please.

I can understand the theme your going for, but it just doesnt look right. A nice Contol Tech would look much better.

2nd'd

as much as i like both stems neither suit the look of the bike, i'll echo sentiments of a pace stem if you are trying for an all UK finishing kit build.

neither look quite right. almost too chunky and aggressive looking for the frame. of the two options i think the first is a nicer looking stem but for me it just doesn't suit it.
