Yet Richard Sachs uses threadless on most of his new bikes: http://www.richardsachs.com/signaturered.html http://www.richardsachs.com/signatureblue.html http://www.richardsachs.com/cxred.html as does JP weigle: http://www.flickr.com/photos/49353...@n00/2811014159/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/49353...@n00/2617014370/ Personally I will never buy a new bike that specs threaded it is a dealbreaker for me on a new bike. If clinging to obsolete standards I would much rather cling to 1" threadless for road use than quill stems.
