well, if it is only a bent steerer, then thats less of an issue. the fork is nothing special, i will probably reuse my old fork, which should have a long enough tube. on a semi related note, im planning on using a threaded fork and clamping a threadless stem half on and half off the threads. now, i would think that so long as about half of the stem is off the threads(below) and half on i should be ok, right?
