Ti stem & spacers from the far east

[Soltydog]

Anyone got any recommendations for a ti supplier of stems & spacers from the far east. I've had some duff ti from the bay in the past, so wary of spending a ton or thereabouts on a stem to find it of poor quality, but they seem to be about half the price of UK suppliers, so worth considering them I reckon.
TIA

Van Nicholas do Ti spacers for £8 each, with P&P at around £7 from memory as they send them via DHL from Holland

They do Ti stems as well, but with their own branding and at £204

Might get the spacers from there rather than cheap bay versions, the VN stem can be had for £180 on bay, less any discounts/promotions that might be running, but not sure I want VN logos on it, think I'd prefer plain. My seatpost is a VN & had a small logo on, which took quite a bit of rubbing off

Cheers for that, didn't realise they did Ti stems, certainly worth a look

I would be far more wary of an unknown stem compared to spacers that won’t have anything like the same force being put through them. £8 each plus £7 postage seems a huge expense, even for Ti.

In that case you'd not be paying £25 for a Ti headset top cap then?
