Hit a small pothole, but nothing I'd consider even bunny-hopping over, and the stem just broke. Could see clearly that the weld point at the top of the neck of the stem (where it broke) that it was corroded ... badly. Was on a Salsa Casserroll (Single). Barely 3 months old.

My shoulders are still sore from the crash that occurred the day after Thanksgiving.
