As brand new, but not boxed.
So the story is, last summer I bought a new bike and as I thought the geometry would be pretty similar to all my other bikes, I bought a 11cm Deda Superleggero stem to go with the Deda Superleggero carbon bars.
However, despite my best efforts I simply just could get the fit right and I just didn't gel with the bike at all. So I replaced the 11cm stem with a 10cm one, and sold the one to pay for the other.
To be fair, this seemed to improve things and I felt much better on the bike.
Then I went and spoilt things at the start of this year by having a bike fit, which suggested that I was right in the first place, I should be riding with a 11cm stem, NOT a 10cm!
After much fiddling, tweaking and moving the hydraulic shifters further up the bars, I now can confirm that I am now 100% happy with it.
So Ive had to buy another 11cm stem...doh!
Therefore, I now need to sell the 10cm one, that is literally as new and was only used for a few hundred miles while I was trying to get comfortable.
Its the black on black version, and brand new they are just under a £100
Selling for just £40 plus postage at whatever the cost will be, £4?
