It's the latter unfortunately. :P Not many 1" threadless canti forks around that match the weight of this one. Or if there are I'm sure they're way outta my budget.
Yeah same with my Giant. I’ve got a quill stem at the moment, but finding a 1” quill with the right rise and length, plus then finding the right bars in 25.4mm has swayed me to the dark side :-)
Good to know - think I’ll put in an order (need some cheap water bottles anyway!)
@vp1337 is your Marin ahead? Or are you doing the dreaded quill converter? :-)
