Result.
Many questions for this.
Primarily though- why not just use the quill stem and a 26.0mm(or 25.4, whichever it fits) handlebar? You would get the bars at the same height and only probably 1cm closer to you...that seems quite minimal in difference and less of a process than purchasing a threadless stem plus 2 shims.
This bike is quite interesting either way though.
