Thanks much.
Thanks. I knew where I could buy colored spacers and calculated the space and figured I could do it.
Ha! I always love this question because you obviously know your mens keirin racing! But do you know your women's keirin racing? 
This stem is approved for women's keirin. The women race newer aluminium and composite bikes with newer components.

Yes, obviously. I never said otherwise.
I mistakenly though all njs stems were quill, and thus threaded headsets. I saw that his was a threadless headset and not a quill stem, thus my question.
I said I though all NJS certified stems were quill, not that all quill stems were NJS certified.
Whatevs, it was late, poor wording or my part.

Thoughts on a Bohemian Fixie?
I just thought I'd share my custom Trek T1 that's known as "Voskhod" amongst me, family, & friends. Any particular comments? It is a unique bike.

A place for everything and everything in its place.
Or perhaps bohemian fixies with grandiose names are just too special.

I don't get it. Is it a "green" lighthouse that hosts avant-garde theatre at 4:30am on Thursdays and is owned by a cork-shoe maker?

Picked up another bike off Craigs on Saturday. I have a problem and it's SS/FG's fault.
Pedals, seat and bar tape will all be changed. Then much polishing.
