@LesterofPuppets: Yeah, now that I think about it, I measured the quill stem and it measures 25mm O.D. So I'm guessing going 1.125" (28.575mm) is definately out of the question. And if I could find 1" threaded I could hopefully rebuild the springs if I wanted...but then again, the concept of head tube angle comes into question. Is there an easy way of measuring the headtube angle?
