From what I understand they look the same as standard ahead once installed. I’m not going for a massive stack or anything.

I mean I like the look of quill stems personally and have accepted the somewhat more limited bar choice (although compacts are available, which is what most people probably use). I just find it interesting when people choose an old frame and then disregard a large part of its charm.

Anyway, Nitto make some (obviously). And if you're not adverse to a positive rise stem, I can recommend the one from Velo Orange.
