****** The stem does not come with the endcap that covers the steer tube clamp on the back of the stem nor the cable bat & bolt that holds the cables underneath for the ""no cable look"" and streamlined look. This back plate and bat clamp that completes the stem and part of the stem has to be ordered from another source because they do not offer them on their website. I had to spend time going back and forth in emails explaining what I needed and then told they don't carry those & buy elsewhere. ?????? Also, the clamp cover piece only comes in a kit that includes the spacers too. ?????? I don't need spacers and I cant see how this is a logical in most any situation. You buy an item to have the item and all relevant parts. If I need the stem I want the complete stem. If I want spacers I would buy the spacers and not a stem part. Its like buying a bike but told the handlebars have to bought elsewhere because its not included. Or in this case, buying a stem and then finding out it doesn't come with the handle bar clamp and bolts. I like the stem but it is not complete when purchased and we are not made aware of this in the description at the time of purchase, which I don't think is being very upfront with customers. Suggestion - Make them available for purchase as an add-on option in a dropdown box with the stem. The sale goes from $125 to possibly $150 or more. Its an SWORKS stem and people will pay for that. Otherwise customers will be disappointed at having an incomplete product and having to source seemingly inclusive item(s) elsewhere. I probably wouldn't have purchased the this stem if I had known ahead of time it was missing some of its parts. I still may return it because I cant find all the parts. (even on a site Specialized recommended) I love Specialized bikes. Quality through and through. I have had many of them, so I do recommend them and even this stem. Just be aware of what you will be getting and not be getting if you buy it.
