The quill to threadless adapters are a bit kludgy imho. You get the positives of a a removable face but still without the convenience of a true threadless setup. Personally, I'd just get a cheap threadless fork and buy the headset I posted. It costs a bit more, but you'll only do it once in the foreseeable future but the result is cleaner, lighter, and more convenient to adjust. That's just my personal opinion though.

Nice bike though! A good mix of retro and modern.
@hobbitman yah many ways to skin a cat.. but I do hear you on the conversion of threadless. Thinking I might do the same for my bike, I like the chrome fork look, why I went my route with quill adapter. hrmm see if I can find a threadless chrome fork.
@mjhoffman887I did find this that will work as well and not cost so much. Only issue is only comes in 2 sizes. Any updates on your bike.
