It was decently well disguised.
I know my fit numbers well enough to figure out what stem is going to work so I don't have to go through a trial period and re-tape bars for quill stem swaps. But if you are figuring things out an adapter and threadless stem are certainly easier to deal with.
And once you have them figured out, put in a nice looking quill next time you replace your bar tape.
