Did see that, though, vainly, I'd rather find a quill stem for the look.

I found this, which seems perfect though in researching for this I've heard a lot about the AVA death stem and Atax's have been mentioned in the same breath, not always positively...

Could anyone tell me for sure if that Atax would be suitable? The old quill was 21.1mm but by my measurement the steerer itself is 22.0mm. The clamp needs to be 25.4 for the bars I have. The Atax seems to fit everything, and is currently my cheapest option, or am I missing something?
