Would said co-op by chance be in Toronto? I know that bike shops want to sell me stuff... It's why I always feel like calling BS on this whole "LBS" concept. They're mostly all the same, show rooms for large bike brands.

I do have a frame maker near by ish, but they're still an hour away by car. And I have no way to get there. As for the stem... I want to replace it altogether, I thought I might be able to braze in a new stearer, but the adapter would be a happy medium for me. I have no issue with the quill part of quill stems. I dislike the limited selection of bars I can use with the stem.

I could do a lot of this stuff myself, I have built a frame before, but I lack the taps and equipment to face the bottom bracket shell. I had a frame builder do that for me.
