I'm not sure. I know that Tim West from JH Lowe sells Guidici stems which are good.

No sense in trying to cut out the middle man unless you want really large quantities. Tim is a good guy, he deserves a small profit for his services as distributor, among other things.

You are right that probably doesn't make sense to buy directly from the supplier unless you want to buy at least a couple hundred bits. And of course Tim is a really good man and his service is first class, but he doesn't deserve any profit just for this reason.

/end nitpicking :fencing:

Of course, on the rare occasions I need premolded stems I just go with him. It's a no-brainer.
