Interesting.

Not recommended for 1" though.
I am not sure where this talks about using a quill stem with a threadless fork/headset combo. I have had this picture linked as a quill stem in a threadless fork...but it is actually just a threadless stem on the WAY top of a threadless fork, with a seatpost clamp taking the place of the headset cap/star nut combo.
Am I missing something?
