I thought about going that route with my trek and may end up doing so in end.
The innicycle headset is great in that it allows me to use current era bars without a quill adapter. I mean... it has elements of a quill stem but it feels so much more substantial.
I felt bad splitting up my frameset, but I'm hoping to get this bike under 20 lbs and I honestly think it's going to be more like 22 the way its being built up now unfortunately.
