This integrated handlebar stem/computer concept is worth writing about just for its name, the "Computermatron Stemigration." Designed by Ryan Hahn of Trek bikes for Trek World 2012, the stem is made of magnesium for lightness (and presumably for emergency campfire purposes) and has a hole into which the removable bike computer fits.

It's pretty cool-looking, and certainly more streamlined than strapping a computer to the top of the handlebars, but the holes in the stem seem as if they may weaken it, and if you ever want to use a different bike computer you'll have to mount it on your bike the old-fashioned way anyway.

I like its clean lines, though. And as I mentioned above, that name is awesome.
