Deep carbon wheels hit the scene before steel forks and qull stems disappeared:
Besides, for most of us it is all about vanity anyway.
edit: yes, I know that pic shows a theadless fork. There were others running quill stems for a number of years after that. I think Riis also used carbon wheels with a steel fork and quill stem the year before (1996) as another data point, Campagnolo Bora wheels showed up in the Campagnolo catalog in 1994, the same year Indurain won the tour on a steel frame.
