What do you make of this

Amazing how quickly something gets copied, regardless of the quality of the copy.

Hard to tell if it even works without seeing the internals. There are some redshift suspension stems on Ali as well with terrible reviews. It looks like the real deal, but internal mechanism is not functional.
Personally, I wouldn’t trust it.

Great find! It isn't that heavy and looks well done.
And has a kind of lock position?
It is just sad the two parts are apparently riveted instead of a bolt to completely unmount them if needed.

Looks like all the photos are photoshopped versions of the Cane Creek photos. I wonder what you the actual product looks like.

That stem also popped up on my AliEx feed. There's another seller with one just like it, but this one has branding on it:

Wonder if its a copy or the actual manufacturer selling the design/model Cane Creek is marketing (Im sure that cant/dont make everything they sell in house)... last several years it seems more often its the manufactures selling local/direct more than doing knockoffs.
