Fresh Goods Sunday - Thomson ELITE X2 stem

I have used Thomson bike parts for the past 20+ years and have never had one fail yet. They are super strong and reliable from past and present experience. I have several seat posts inc a masterpiece and loads of stems in a variety of lengths, angles, clamp diameters etc. This is the first X2 stem I have bought / used and once opening the Thomson bag which I also love it is a thing a machining beauty. The finish is perfect, fitting was easy and comes with full instruction booklet. The one I bought is 110mm long (come in 70mm - 130mm lengths in 10mm increments), silver (also come in black) and 10 degrees (also comes in 17 degrees) the logos are dual on both sides so does not look out of place which way up you have the stem. I will let the photos below show you the rest.
RRP £80 and I paid £51.12 inc p & p

Spec - The Thomson X2 features a lighter, 2-bolt handlebar clamp. The interlocking handlebar clamp of the X2 makes it as torsionally strong as other 4-bolt designs, while being lighter and narrower.
X2 is for the rider who understands what it takes to stay up front. Energy wasted in flex is the enemy on a road bike. X2 keeps your energy moving forward.
The Thomson X2 Road stem allows you to realize the benefits of stiffer forks and stiffer 31.8 bars. X2 offers precise steering, tracking, and more control while riding, all wrapped up in a beautiful design.

The Thomson X2 features a lighter, 2-bolt handlebar clamp. The interlocking handlebar clamp of the X2 makes is as torsionally strong as other 4-bolt designs, while being lighter and narrower. Low 36mm stack height from the top to the bottom of the stem steerer. X2 is available in 2 rise options: 10° and 17°. Both the 10° and 17° stem can be run with a positive or negative rise and the reversible graphics will be right in either direction.
10° stems work well for average riders and amateur racers, while those who want a very aggressive aero position or who want a very upright position can use the 17° stem to meet their needs.
X2 is made in our factory in Macon.
