The __ __METER is lovely.

The black on black bike is a Tiemeyer, and yes, it's fucking monstrous.

ah thanks, i was struggling to read the name. now does anyone know what the stem is?

Looks like one of these with the recesses filled in

#49991 is nicest Bishop I can recall seeing, they usually have some stupid bent tube or straight fork that fucks them up.

Something by 3ttt, one of these blacked out it seems. http://www.bicyclebuys.com/barsstems/Stems/1601190PART

Bishop logo/font is pure peng.

^^ good find thank you, i'd be tempted to get one if they looks like the one in the picture

Unlikely you'll get one like that.

The owner's words:

                                  Wanted a slightly  longer/lower stem after changing to the 3T bars.  Picked up this  beautiful vintage rare 3T stem that was custom made for Mario Cipollini  who was a massive sprinter. It's aluminum core wrapped with carbon and  is a massive brick, but still light. I stripped off the 3T logos to  match my bike.   

3T only many a few of these stems before discontinuing them because production cost was insanely high. The whole clamping mechanism is internal and tightened by one small bolt (hidden with a cap) on the side. Very innovative design that's super clean and minimal.

Unlikely you'll get one like that.

$199.99, bit much for me to spend just on a stem

And you'd have to spray it matt black if you wanted it to look as badass as that

exactly, i can't even justify that let alone afford it.

You occasionally get the old dedas which have a similar "look"

And the new Pro Cavendish has some of the elements of the design, 'only' £120, as does the now-discontinued USE Atom, which you might be able to pick up for about £50-£60 for NOS one.

A noobie just posted some of his bikes on the welcome thread am jealous.

You guys are the arbiters of bike porn taste, discuss.

Imagine spending all that cash for someone just to say "Yo Bikes is Fugly"

No need to imagine, just ask edscoble.

Excellent thank you I'll do some hunting

after doing some reading i see that the USE atom is prone to coming loose and you need to constantly check it. So that options is out. i'll just keep an eye on the pro stem maybe i'll catch one at a low enough price.

lol @ the mudguard on the chrome 'dale

somebody discovered cycleangelo i see...
