I don't get this at all

Why and how the fook can this be £160    i know the old ugly ones go for that and more (fook knows why and i still don't know why Hutch gets such high prices) but a new ugly 1 1/8th stem??

Read the description again Rob 

Here is just one of the many benefits

'has the H in the top cap cut all the way through so that the knurling of the bars is visible for the rider'

People in the know are happy to pay for these kind of valuable features, surely you must have an idea what's it like to be out on a ride and suddenly wonder if your handlebar knurling is still there? this excellent design means you don't have to get your allen keys out every time to check

   i missed that bit    i'd say it's worth double now

The Hutch stem is the only chrome-plated race stem on the market today

So really you have to buy it

Damn!  yet another reason
