Are you asking for an additional 50mm of height adjustment, for a total of 100mm, or something else?

As currently designed, there is 50mm of extra steerer tube which, if desired, can be trimmed off instead. See pictures of my Trek 660 on page one of this thread for what this looks like.

If you are asking for a special headset with 100mm of adjustment, I’m going to decline. I don’t see much of a market for that nor do I trust the quill to steerer engagement to that
much potential leverage. There are quill stems out there that are quite tall and frankly they scare me.
