cinelli and 3t make awesome looking quill stems with pop-top or hinge systems

I like threaded for its ease of height adjustability.
I like threadless because I only need an allen tool to work on my headset, and the whole system is just more rigid and reliable.

Haha that's the exact fork I was looking at for my pista. I'm still torn between what people are posting about threadless being stiff and whatnot versus how much more I like how threaded looks (and how much I absolutely hate the unicrown fork on the pista).

In all honesty, you're riding this thing on the road, it's not like it has to stand up to real abuse. If you can keep your inner engineer quiet go threaded and enjoy the look of your bike. That fork looks pretty nice if you're not planning on running brakes or big tires.

ive been searching around for one of these, any links or shops you'd reccomend?

what's the shortest quill available out there?

And you haven't cut down your steer tube-

what about in terms of length?

Threadless is stiffer, if that's important to you, then there you go. Threaded looks more slim, if that's your're thing, then there you go. I personally think threaded looks better. I also agree that on a more modern frame with aero tubing, threadless looks better, but on a classic steel frame, then the threaded looks better.

I'm not sure if there's a weight advantage to threaded v. threadless, but i can definitely feel a different in stiffness and responsiveness between the two.

i've ridden both.. i'd have to say i like threadless more. The only annoying part is adjusting the height on it because.. if your steerer is too short you cant get the height you really want.. if you want it a bit higher . The flip -/+ on the threadless stems is neat though!

I got my Mark V in threaded, and I don't regret it. I did this mostly for aesthetic reasons.

not as easy. I prolly raiser/lower my stem 1x/week on average. Oftentimes during a ride....
love the quill.
