You could mix and match these: not the Riv aesthetic, but still, nice.

My problem with spacers is there are too darn many of them. IMO opinion, spacers are kind of ugly. A custom 1" threadless stem that does not spacers is almost as good as a quill, so long as my desired bar height does not change. I say almost because aesthetically, I think the thinner quill stem emerging from the headset provides a more visually clean transition to the handlebars. Jim Thill is probably on to something when he says part of this owes something to what I grew up with. On the other hand, Fixie Hipsters, whose primary bike objective is aesthetics put a premium on old quill stem bikes. The quill may not be the only factor but given it is what the rider sees most while riding, it must have an attraction for them. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
