Anyways if you are shopping for older used bikes with quill stems- you can find replacement quill stems in many different height and reach combinations, so you can easily make a smaller frame fit you. Whereas with threadless stems there is a limit to how high you can relocate the handlebars.
I was wondering about the different stems I was seeing on old vs newer bikes but didn't know the terminologies so didn't know where to start. thank you!

I have a quill stem on my current 58cm bike but I won't mess with it since its not a smaller frame.
