OK, this is cool and very much a sign of the age we live in. The Blockhead Stem by Che-Wei Wang, Taylor Levy from CW&T have released a stem they call the ‘Blockhead’ stem. A solid chunk of billet aluminium you can use as a stem. Maybe not to everyone’s aesthetic taste but that’s ok…..

… if you don’t like the look, machine it yourself!

“Blockhead Stem is licensed under a creative commons license. Take our design, modify it, make one for yourself. But please don’t sell them because we need money to buy and eat dumplings. Give credit where it’s due. We actually want you to go find your machinist buddy and see if he or she can make it for super cheap. We spent about a month searching for a quality machinist that can produce them on demand. If you find a better machinist please share.”
