Edited Date/Time:
well the stem is an older model, there's been a v2 now for some time. they likely just have it marked down to get it out of their stock already
edit: it's a good stem and not marked down because it sucks. I had it and liked it, only got rid of it because I wanted an Odyssey stem

Depreciation, dude. New parts come out every year, old parts sit in the warehouse taking up space. Albe's is awesome, and very active on the forum if you have an issue. Buy with confidence.

Most of those are old stock or cheap budget parts that’s why they’re so cheap

Hate how Albes leaves listings for on-sale items even after they sold out. Its almost like they are teasing me "haha, you missed Odyssey tires for $12, bitch!!!"
