Even if it's "dead" 1" threadless is pretty easy to do- most 1 1/8" stems come with a shim for 1" and then all you need is spacers and a headset, which i'm sure Riv could source easily (i think Ritchey makes one?). Definitely easier than trying to make a threaded setup work with a 1 1/8" headtube.
I love this category of bikes- "common sense" road bikes.

I'd bet 1 1/8" as 1" t/less is pretty dead. > > - J > > -- > Jim Edgar > cyclofi...@earthlink.net > > Cyclofiend Bicycle Photo Galleries -http://www.cyclofiend.com > Current Classics - Cross Bikes > Singlespeed - Working Bikes > > Send In Your Photos! - Here's how:http://www.cyclofiend.com/guidelines > > "Nigel did some work for some of the other riders at Allied, onces who still > rode metal.
