quill stem with faceplate?

I need to shorten my stem, and I'd like the new stem to have one of those bolt-on faceplates (like
all the threadless stems have) so I won't have to take off the bar tape and a lever if I ever want
to swap stems again. Does anybody make such a thing?

This is a threaded fork (obviously), 1" I think.

Yes.

I have such a beast myself, a riser stem I'm using on a nice old touring bicycle. These are
reasonably common, though you will probably have the best luck finding one at a shop geared towards
roadies or commuters.

Funny story about that stem: I paid $20 for the stem, but only $10 for the bike. It was a
garage-sale steal.

Profile and Salsa both make quill faceplate 1 inch stems.

Not that common now though we have some here downunder by Kalloy. Otherwise use a quill adaptor so
you can use the thousands of mtb aheadstems.

Cinelli makes the one I've been using "The Frog" http://www.cbike.com/cinellistems.htm Steve

Most online bike shops have different sections for road and MTB threadless stems. What's the
difference? Which would work with a quill adapter?

Cinelli Frog stem does what you want. I've got one on an older Landshark and I like it. Found one on
ebay new for $34.

Tried a Cinelli quill adapter with a threadless-headset stem (Cinelli Alter) and the stem would
"walk" it's way up the quill adapter.

Profile H2O is once such stem. Not too pricey either.

ITM do - the Big One and more basic Alu Tig models are both "front-loading". Failing that, you could
always try a threadless stem of this style with an Ahead-to-quill adaptor (from Cinelli or similar).

I just got one of those, a "Zoom", on sale at Nashbar for $20 or so.

"Road" and "MTB" are generally shorthand for 26.0 bars vs. 25.4 bars, respectively. And misleading
at that, as some road bars are 25.4. As in helmets, all the rest is fashion.

Sure. Lots of options. I have a "Zoom" stem that is 1" threaded and has a faceplate like you want.
Either Performance or Nashbar will have them.

Salsa also makes a quill stem with a face plate, and you can probably find the Deda Murex stem with
a face plate mounted on the bottom. I know the Deda stem is 1 inch, and I assume that the Salsa
stem is too.
