yeah that's what i'm looking at now. i just bought the ITM 800 stem which is an open face quill stem so i can easily switch bars (brakeless) without any hassle. i thought i ordered the 26.0 stem but they sent me the 25.4 so i might just order the 26.0 this time (for sure). thanks to those who offered solutions.
