I have there regular stem on my Da Vinchi Wilson. It love it! There attention the detail is amazing. They even put little edge breaks on the handlebar area in case you run carbon bars. The only other stem company that does this that I know of is Thompson. It seems like Point One took the quality of Thompson and the bling of Sunline and made something even cooler. As far as the broken stem, after having one and looking at the desin of the new direct mount I doubt one broke but hey if it did just post a picture to shut everybody up. I will admit the price is more than I would like to pay but so is a Ferrari. Bottom line is you get what you pay for.
