RE: stem - each to their own I guess. I used an X2, it didn't work / I used an ARX, it did. Haven't swapped any components on my bike since it was built, nearly a year ago. Not that fickle.
RE: old Assos kit: Do you prefer riding around advertising Sky and their affiliated companies? Or triangles and flower print? Crossed hammers and scythes and tattoos perhaps? Giant "meh". I find it quite fun getting colourful interesting old jerseys for £10-15, which are technically nearly identical to today's. What's wrong with that? Should I fall in line and pay £120 for something black with a white band around the arm?
Why so angry on a Friday? Really don't see what all the hate is for.
I am slightly rustling your jimmies here but TBH you offer up your thoughts as solutions and forum hyperbole is boring. Common, but still boring. You tried two stems and the one that worked for you we should all now ride – this (for instance) is ridiculous.
