Oh, also, before you answer…. one question for those of you who might have this kind of technical information…. the Gus comes with a threadless stem, the Susie with a quill. It’s been my understanding that a quill stem set-up weights a bit more than threadless. Is this correct? The actual stem is heavier, of course. But then the steerer of the threadless set-up will be quite a bit longer and heavier vs. the quill. Does any one known what the approximate weight difference is between the two? I believe I once read(maybe in a Riv Reader?) that the quill set-up weighs about 8oz more. For those of you who know, is this close to accurate or even in the ballpark? I ask because the Susie’s lighter tubed weight savings is 12 oz, and I’m wondering how much of the this savings will be offset by its heavier stem.
Given that it's Rivendells we're talking about, the weight difference between an otherwise identiical quill stem-equipped bike compared with one with a threadless setup is entirely insignificant. If whatever the difference is is something that matters to you, you probably shouldn't be looking at a Rivendell in the first place.
