Old thread, but speaking of titanium and stems... has anyone ever found a titanium replacement for the super big bolt in a quill stem? I'm upgrading/modernizing an old steel bike for racing and got bit a little by the weight weenie bug. Just that one particular project, my other bikes I don't really care about a pound or two here or there. I'm trying to keep it original steel frame and fork, but cut weight on all the extras. The biggest bolt on the thing is that huge one in the quill stem seems like if there were ever a bolt that would account to a decent amount of weight reduction it would be that one.
