Pinarello Dogma - Racing bike
Pinarello Paris - Racing/ Training bike.
Scott CX. - Training bike for Subcontinent.
BMC TT - TT and my wife uses it for Triathlons.
Colnago Ferrari - Limited edition, a collectors piece.
Specialized Epic. - Trails and mountains in SL. Before I leave SL I want to ride mtb himachal or manali to leh.
Bianchi Volpe - My touring bike. I have been doing a tour/year.


Besides those wheels on the bikes, I also have another 4 sets of wheel sets that I use for different riding conditions. Hate to say this but currently I have over 65000 usd invested on bikes. The number came out while insuring them. Phew!!
But all this is also due to the fact that I live on 3 continents now. Similar to Vandit's situation.
Rest all belongs to my wife.

The 3T ARX Team Road Stem (120gms) at 51 euros v/s 3T ARX LTD Carbon Road Stem (118gms) at 187 euros! 2 gms = over 120 euros?

For 2 gms tempted to go with AL at 120gms. Pretty much that seems to be the weight of most high end Carbon stems!

Have looked at a wide range of stems between $200 and $400 and all weigh between 120 and 145gms! So I guess this 3T Aluminium at 120gms is a good deal. Hmm..

Looking at the same one for Shalini. Love the red stripe.

Notice the one spacer above the stem, and that is how it should be I think with carbon steerer tubes.

Undecided on length though.

I thought I will stick with it also because I bought the same handlebar but in carbon. Will look good too :-). I got the 110mm.


Edit - I have a spacer on top like that on all my bikes.
