Can any one show be some examples that fit the aesthetic of classic quill stems, i.e down sloping, not too massive .... I just can't do the deer horn look
thanks all
Are you looking to put a threadless stem on an adapter and use it on a threaded fork or do you have a threadless fork and need a stem for it? Also, do you normally ride a -17 quill stem and/or are you looking to get it a little higher?
Final question. What diameter bars (clamp area) are you looking to use with the proposed new stem?
