That's definitely an issue - most threadless stems are butt ugly. The Nitto TFL was not, but that was an accident, and we won't see them again. The Nitto lugged threadless stem is nice, but definitely not inexpensive. Same is true for the fillet brazed Nitto track threadless stem - and they're not only expensive, they're only in 25.4 and long sizes. And what's more, none of these have removable faceplates. There are some gorgeous custom threadless stems out there. They're expensive, and again as a rule they don't have removable faceplates. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
