It is a possibility. The one caveat is that it will require a 1 1/4” stem (similar to the current innicycle in that ‘steps up’ the steerer tube diameter). I have some other higher priority versions I want to tackle first (French for one) but then will strongly consider it. The main reason I didn’t do it from the onset is (aside from the unknown market) that it requires a complete set of new parts. Nothing can carryover from the 1” innicycle. A bit of a pain but you know what they say about that

I actually have an old GT MTB with a 1 1/8” threaded headset sitting in the garage for just this reason. Perhaps if groupsets weren’t so hard to get these days I’d have already turned it into a restomod-gravel bike.
