@hma it isn't solely a hatred of cable cutting or bar wrapping, it was more a matter of cost:
Quill stem + bars + bar tape + headset > headset + adapter
I think once I've dialed the fit in and I'm happy with everything else I'll ditch the adapter and try and source a cockpit that resembles this.
In all likelihood I'll keep the fork. The one on offer isn't threaded which would further postpone cockpit plans.
@MCamb So true. These have very nearly been hurled through a window in rage on too many occasions. Whoever gave them 5 stars needs a slap.
