"Designed in Cologne, Germany: CNC machined in Kyoto, Japan - the éclat 1023 Stem is a combination of classic mid-school styling and precision Japanese manufacturing. A throwback to stems of old but with new-school geometry and features. This limited-edition stem has all the appeal of a collector’s item whilst ticking off all the boxes of a clean and bombproof CNC stem.
The low-rise design and smooth underside allow you to ride the stem either as a low-rise top load (23mm) or flipped to achieve the same rise as a front load stem (10mm). Taller stack and wider faceplate create a firm and vice-like grip on your handlebars and fork steerer, keeping you steady when things get choppy.
Whether you keep it on the mantelpiece or bolt it up to your bike, the 1023 Stem is a very special éclat product to own and treasure." - eclat
