Really like the frame. Is the paint really that bad? Doesn't look like it on the pictures.
I vote for quill stem. Looks amazing on those old Cdale frames.

Seconded re quill

Paint really is bad, will post some pics of the peeling off process once I get around to it. :)
Quill stem will be there in the test setup, If I can find a nice steel tigged stem in the correct angle I could keep the quill, something like the Nitto UI-12. But would actually prefer an ahead setup in terms of simplicity and availability of nicer Nitto stems.

There really is a lot of corrosion on the downtube around the 2 bottlecage bolts. Ideally this needs a full strip and respray if you want to do it right.
For now, I need to find someone who can extend the steerer so I can run a threadless ahead setup. Also scrape the paint off the problem areas, clean the alu, give it a coat of something and leave it like that.
