*
Anyone know a good source for quill type stems? It is rather hard to find good ones these days. I did a forum search and a Google search but the number of posts/threads with the word "stem" is massive, Google gives me a bunch of off brands, and eBay is rather thin in that department.

I'm replacing the stem on my LeMond. I ordered an quill-to-threadless adapter and threadless Ritchey WCS stem, but the total weight between the two (adapter and stem) is about 280 grams. If I'm going to be replacing the stem anyway, I'd like to go lighter.

Ideas?

The RC guys seemed to have some good input. What ideas does C&V have?




P.S. I didn't realize my bike had become classic/vintage. This feels a little like hearing music I listened to in college being played on a classic rock station.
