hey guys
I got me a new frame and built it up completely, but honestly - I'm just not too keen on the looks of the ahead stem I have. I just think an ahead stem makes the whole front area look bulky - don't like it too much!
And today I saw that there are adapters which allow you to use classic quill stems with new frames with 1-1/8'' headsets like these: http://www.benscycle.net/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=188_263_796
does anyone have any experience with such wonderous technical miracles? are they useful at all and how do they look once they're fitted?
cheers
