If I didn't go the threadless route, all I'd really need is a new stem as the Serotta Ti stem I now have on my bike is just too long. Any ideas where I can get a good lightweight Ti or Al stem?
IT sounds to me like your shop wants to convert your bike to a threaded headset because they don't have any quill stems in stock to sell to you. Is this accurate? If it is then I suggest you move along to another shop or buy a stem online.
