Packaging: The stem comes in an efficient cardboard package (figure 1). 
Installation: The stem installed easily. It came with torque values clearly labeled, and metric bolts for easy installation (figure 2). 
First Use: With a long stem (130mm) and a light weight stem, stiffness is a concern that I had, which proved unfounded by this stem. I found the stem to be stiff even when I was sprinting. It provided the correct amount of clamping for my handlebar, and did not allow it to slip even on rough roads.
Feedback: The stem is very ascetically pleasing. I really enjoy the cnc machined look to it (figure 3). It was drooled over by my teammates when they first saw it. They are lining up to buy one!
