Splatter anodized Ringle Zooka stem

This is a cool Ringle Zooka stem in a rare splatter anodized finish. Also notice front plate is cracked (not cool).

Cracktastic Yeti heritage

It is ironic that also modern, not only vintage Yeti frames are known for cracking, old aluminium gets brittle with time, but old Yeti Cr-Mo frames can also crack, most often around the seatpost collar. This is a modern Yeti framset with flexible carbon pivot that snapped (or he forgot it on the roof of his car when he backed in to his garage).
