Consider this instead of a threadless stem conversion. Ive used the VO quill conversion and it is the nicest of the quill conversions, but if you want a project and also want threadless- consider the innicycle. It gives you threadless without the look of quill conversions.
Plus, it is designed and sold by forum member joejack.
I am going to use one on my next road frame project this winter.

Cheaper than a Ritchey carbon fork, keeps the matching color fork, and gives you the same project as a carbon fork of replacing the headset.

Worth every penny.

$125 bucks? Ouch! Looks quite nice though.


This frame has no bottle cage bosses so I'm probably going to find a frame bag that fits the bill and run that.
Here's a cheap solution for that, I have 3 of these. They will also hold a small frame pump.

I rode it in to work this morning. I may have to take a gravel detour on the way home :)

Are there any pictures of it installed floating around somewhere?

Organize a group buy? :D

Keep in mind, that's 11 unique custom parts (14 if you count the spacer kit) plus bearings that go into this conversion headset. I'm not saying it's inexpensive but relative to standard threadless adapter there's a lot more going on.

Is there a silver version in the works?

Pull the vinyl stickers off those HDs and itll look even better.

Looks really good though. Strong work saving it and bringing it back from near dead!

I do wish these were a bit more subdued but I had a different set of wheels on it during the build that were mostly black and it was kind of "bleh". I may switch wheels again though, that's the nice thing about wheels, if you don't like 'em it just takes a couple minutes to switch them out. Back when I was still into old Chevies I'd run factory wheels but I'd have 2 or 3 different styles of center caps and 2 or 3 different styles of trim rings and I'd switch them out with different combinations every so often. It would change the whole look of the car in a matter of a few minutes.

Great job! That looks fantastic! I'd ride the hell out of that if I was about six inches taller.

Thanks for sharing.

FINALLY got everything together I needed to finish this build. Absolute mish-mash of parts that work together soooo well.
1970s Windsor with Campy dropouts, Campy housing and wire routing fitments, Dia-compe calipers.
Added a silver 105 crank, Dura-Ace Italian BB and 40T WolfTooth 1X ring
Sram Apex 10s Shifters free from my mom's leftover upgrade
Shimano R500 wheels I got for free from a crashed Cannondale SuperSix, fitted with 31mm Vittoria Terreno Drys
11-32 105 cassette and Sram Rival 22 long cage RD round out the shifting.
Dead silent, fits like a glove, can't wait to finish off the accessories. This frame has no bottle cage bosses so I'm probably going to find a frame bag that fits the bill and run that.

Here's mine. Had some issues getting into big ring for a few days after build, but shifts right as rain now thanks to the forums. Mostly 10spd 105, running the original cantis. Had its first "real ride" last week and all thats left is to shorten and clean up cables. My boy likes it too.https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...af4aec2926.jpg

Correct. The great thing about these older Mavic wheels, including the Cosmos on my Trek, is that they accept 11 speed cassettes.

nice looking bike....like a lot of the updated ones on here

bianchi4harley 11-01-19 11:39 AM

sounds a bit like my build.... found and scrounged parts to make a new bike. Looks good.

Here’s my 1984 Trek 660 that was stripped down to bare metal for a clear powdercoat before building it back up with a Dura Ace group I found on CL for cheap.
