Gunnar looks great, except I think I am seeing an… adjustable stem?
looks like a redshift suspension stem, which is less 
but still a little

Don’t knock it till you try it
isn’t the stem engineered to make its own knocking motions independently?

I have the Redshift post and stem on my camping bike, and I like them just fine. The post is better than the stem, though.
Would it be possible to pair that suspension stem with the Canyon hoverbars and put them on a Roubaix with the headshock thingy?

Hang all that off of one of these and you have a “hell yeah brother” sort of situation.

Counterfeit Lightweight Edelhelfer. Think I should switch it to upright bars and a sprung brooks or one of those balloon comfort saddles with the fake suspension ?

Oh no if that works for you it’s great, I was just curious about the kind of bicycle history that lands someone $100000000 carbon cages but also a comfy stem.
I think they were $20? from AliExpress. Haven’t broken yet.

For your judgement I submit my NFE. Build currently is as follows:
Wheels: 12mm version of SON / DT350 on Easton Arc24 rims (32h/3x)
Cockpit: Easton EA90 seat post (20mm setback); Pro Discover Stem (70mm); Easton AX EA70 bars, 46mm wide; Supacaz Super Sticky Kush tap.
Drivetrain & brakes: Shimano GRX 400 11sp brifters and rear derailleur; 11-34 cassette; Easton EC90 cranks (30-46); CX70 front derailleur. XT two piston IS calipers - resin pads with 180/160 SRAM two-piece rotors.
Lights: edelux II and Mu (mounted via August Cycles barrel nut + bracket)
Racks & bags: Haulin Colin / Cyclefab NFE porteur rack; Swift Ozette XL; Campestral Decaleur w/Ortlieb QL1; Tubus Duo w/Jimmythefly’s hook-keepers; Swift Sonora X-Pac panniers; Revelate Pika rear bag.
Tires: Switchback Hills; Juniper Ridge and Thunder Burts in rotation.
Fenders: Rene Herse / Honjo H80 XL (62mm wide) with PDW safety tabs added (post photo).
Headset & BB: IRD Double Roller II; Chris King Threadfit 30.
Saddle: WTB SST synthetic. Handles the rain and doesn’t trash my shorts like Cambium.
Pedals: XT clipless & RaceFace Chesters in rotation.
Cages: King Cage standard & Iris; Widefoot cargo cage for carrying more.
This is a stock thru-axle NFE with an added bottle boss on top side of downtube.
The regrets: missing eyelet on front of fork; the headset wasn’t available in black at time of build (but is now); the Ozette color.

Hey, I also plagiarized the Squirrel bike! Just the setup though. Not the colors. I’m not a maniac.
