I think you it goes over 3 pages and it starts a couple of pages back.

EDIT: here's how it started:

I'm pretty sure that putting the clamp screws in front of the steerer is a fundamentally flawed design, as anybody who has owned a Cinelli Alter/Integralter/Angel will confirm. You end up trying to bend the whole stem body to achieve clamping, rather than just bending the thin walls of the clamp itself as you do with a normal stem. If you must keep it clean and knee friendly, use a wedge clamp like Thomson, not a hoop tension clamp.

BMW* aren't in the business of great engineering, they're in the business of selling hyped product to wankers, and are doing fine without my help.

*Both kinds.

Mighty word coming from you! I'm almost afraid to ask what's your though on the BMW Gangsta.
