CRAZY COOL NEW AL'S RAPID TRANSIT VAN STEM

[Rat Rod]

Alan Rutter from Al's Rapid Transit sent me an email last week letting me know about a new product he just released. I took one look at this new stem of his and a huge smile went up on my face. It's a threadless BMX style stem CNC machined out of 6061 billet aluminum to look like a Dodge A-100 Panel Van and he's calling it "MYSTERY MACHINED."

The stem has a 53mm reach and fits 1 1/8" forks. You can mount 7/8" handlebars on it. They come in a raw finish so that you can customize them to fit your bike. Alan suggests anodizing, polishing it to a mirror finish or painting it to look like the Scooby Doo Mystery Machine. They retail for $49.99 plus shipping, and best of all, they're made in the good old U.S.A!

Get yours here!

Oh.........My........Gee. I need that stem. I'm gonna have to order it, like, tonight....

Hmmm. I'm a mopar guy and I like Al's stuff but I can't say I'm sold on that one. Price is right for a unique piece though.

I can see how it ain't for everyone but C'MON--- that's a stem, and it's also a thoroughly rad old panel van... I guess there's plenty of "normal" stems, a decent number of skull stems, but this is something totally unique....

Needs a VW samba version with little surfboards haha, agreed on the detail, some windows etched in would look better!

Ah but that's the deal... I can see it with etched details and added surf boards too. It's also definitely heavy duty, and ready for personalization.

Exactly. By leaving details out, this design allows us to fill in some blanks ourselves, if we're so inclined. It definitely looks like a 60s Dodge, but with the right etching or paint, it could be an Econline or a Type 2 or whatever...

Someone's feeling snarky today.

Must not be a good Friday.
