Not cheap, however all the RideWorks kit is very aesthetically pleasing, UK produced in small runs by (I think) one man.

I don't have any but have seen the stem, it's a beautiful thing, pedals look fab too, plus he was one of the first to produce the T47 bottom bracket.

No Kickstarter required, pay when available & it'll arrive

Their EBB does look a sensible option.

Whats it like? Is it stiff?

@Theghost....yes but it’s connected to a Ti bar that is not super stiff [no bad thing] so slightly difficult to comment.

There isn’t a lot of it to flex!

Minor grumble ... you need to remove the bar before you can remove the stem and true of the reverse. Can make getting the bars straight a tad tricky.

That said it’s beautifully finished but yet subtle.

I’d happily buy another.

I have one (#010).

They do look lovely.

Also, I'd say, mine made the bars feel stiffer, less flexy. Not a great deal, you can still feel flex over the rough stuff.

Customer service is great, and Paul is quick to get back to you.

I'd definitely buy Rideworks parts in the future.
