I'm trying to cobble together an old bike, and the fork I've found is about a half inch short. I'm thinking about using JB weld to glue a small section of threaded fork steerer tube to a quill stem for the upper headset to screw onto. This section of steerer could be from some other junked fork, and it would be glued onto the stem well above the wedge with little gap to the fork below. I'm thinking if it is glued neatly, and set up and adjusted before hardening, things may be aligned properly and the hoped for result would be a quill stem with an aligned JB welded on section of threaded steerer for use with the upper headset, and still removable from the fork. Obvioulsy no height adjustment, but I know my size.
Does this sound possible? Has anyone tried it?
