I'm going to be 60 this year and would like to get to a more upright position on my Merckx. I tried searching but didn't know how to ask my question so thought I'd post for information and/or wording to search.
My bike is from the mid 90's and I've had it for nearly 20 years, it has the original Cinelli stem and bars which are a little too low for my current needs. I was thinking of getting the adapter which converts from 1" to 1 1/8' and can use the Aheadset style stem.
Questions are:
What do you call the adapter/extension that fits into the threaded headset?
What has been the experience of folks on the forum using this option?
Thanks in advance!
