I want to stay in this general wheelhouse, and maybe even seek out a black seatpost in the future, but that's easy compared to finding a black anno'd 22.0 quill stem. I'll probably move towards a navy-colored cable housing too, just to pop off the decals.
How about this one? I have used Origin8 stems in a couple of different French-sized steerers with no issue and no modification. Worth a try for the price?
