It's a sugino, used by diamond back although the diamond back one's were branded.
As far as the desirability goes, well it's a decent quality stem :coolsmiley:

Like a lot of stuff back in the day there would have been 30 or 40 of these stems lying around in halfords unsold (along with shit gold/red/blue maxycross cranks etc) but these days it seems anything 'oldschool'' is desirable by some. Personally, I try to have as much snobbiness on bmx items today as I did then so I woudlnt touch it (or a suntour) with a bargepole when there are tuff/pro necks and loads of other really good quality stems around. But thats just me ;)

Get it, polish the fook out of it and stick it on a low quality british frame that nobody bougth back in the day because they were (frnakly) shit and youll fit in fine here :)

maxi cross cranks look the bollocks, especially on rippers and quads, much better than 1 piece in the looks department.....
