Messing around this morning because I couldn't sleep. Guess I had assumed (since it's still an early 90's bike) the steerer tube would be 1" and take a 22.2 mm quill road stem. Nope - 1 1/8" steerer. I want to use a shorter stem and raise the height and seem to have two options - quill adapter and modern stem or find a 1 1/8" quill stem with a longer insertion length and 80-90 mm length.] Sunlite has a 80mm stem that is reportedly a little on the portly side. Personally, I like the look of a vintage quill stem on with drop bars. But, there's a lot of flexibility with the modern set up. Is it even possible to find nicer looking straight post adapter stems for a 1 1/8" steerer? All the quill adapters I see are for a 22.2 mm (1") steerer.
