Is there any science to that drilling pattern or do they just have at it until they’re afraid to drill any more?

My arse would look like a very unappetising waffle after an hour on that :stuck_out_tongue:

I think it looks crap In a perfect world Eddy Merckx would kill the mofo’s that desecrated his panto stem or at least sick Chuck Norris onto him/her.

It’s gaudy and inelegant, whereas the beauty of a bicycle comes from it’s simplicity and functional design. :roll:… a world full of frilly bike parts and owners obsessed with the appearance over function. I call it rubbish. A bike is just a bike … it’s beauty should be apparent without trying to make it appear like something from a Tiffany catalogue.

OTOH … drillium is cool. Stupid in some respects but nonetheless cool.

drillium is cool! just learnt of it in this thread. check some of these:

Drilling and milling parts in the old school style is traditional bike porn. Enjoy !!
