I'm currently building up a bike for this thread. Been going back and forth for days on whether to go with a modern looking stem setup or classic quill design. The setup will be plain, glossy black.(Also cheap, if possible) I detest matte black. I already have some handlebars I am going to use. I was all set to go threadless adapter, but couldn't find a stem I liked. Lots of sweet Cinellis out there, but then I have to get some more bars. For now I am pulling the stem/bars from another bike to use. I will have to find replacements eventually to go on the other bike. Life's tough.
