Not as heavy or as ugly as the one that's currently on my bike.

my poor brain went into 'did not compute' mode. I had to go find something else that weighed 14oz and compare it with a normal stem.

14oz is about 400g. If it has hinges or pivots or something I could understand it but otherwise...? -that is about three times heavier than a stem needs to be.... :shock:

cheers

I shudder to imagine what the rest of the donor bike was like!
