  • Fair play, my Saffron has 1" steerer and it's really lovely. Though it's not custom for me and I have an a-head stem installed, the thought of having to unwrap bars and remove brakes to change stem always sways me back towards A-head. But then again, the frame isn't custom to me so size is always a bit of an issue ;)

  • Apart from the custom stem for this Vetta project (which, btw, was made by Bart from WINDcycleworks for 1" steerer and 26mm bars diameter) only a few ahead stems look sleek enough to go with a 1" headtube. The Syntace F99 combined with a 1 1/8"shim as seen on the Merlin is one of the few.
