How do you like the quill to threadless adapter? Is that the one from Origin8?
I actually like it a lot. It's the VO offering, milled to 21.1mm (Schwinn steerer) with a lugged and fillet brazed Nitto stem. It's stiff and gives just the right bar height without looking too goofy.

Thanks for the compliment. I like the look of the white cloth. This has one coat of clear shellac. It's getting dirtier and I'll put another coat of clear on it soon. Eventually it will be amber, I'm sure.
