Forgot to add I also have a stem if you need one...it's a shallow angle so it
may not give you the rise you're looking for.
Sorry about the multiple replies, the goofy hotel wi-fi I'm on keeps cutting in

I use the VO stem adapter on one bike and like it . I think it's a grand
invention ! I don't mind the look of using the adapter with a threadless
stem at all , it's simply different. The flexibility of using the adapter
and being able to swap out lengths is AWESOME !! To me, the days of
Och! The nerve! I pray your issues resolve and you have many more miles in
the saddle, however upright.

I have a silver Profile Designs threaded stem with faceplate on an MB-1. I
don't know if they still make them (or if there is still a Profile
Designs), but you might do a search on Ebay.

Here ya go. It looks just like the Nashbar, but at least it's silver.
There's several different lengths available, so have a look around under

Liesl: ,
Sorry to hear of your news.
In light of your nice bikes I would suggest a stem adapter like the VO. You
can attach a stem with removable faceplate to it and it's silver so with a
little tape it doesn't look too bad.

Sorry to hear about that.
There are a few quill - threadless adapters out there. Nitto makes one
that might help get those bars up using your existing threadless stem.

Ah, good options, especially the VO. Next question: the alba's have some
reasonable Tektro Quartz brake levers that work with v-brakes. Anyone
know if these levers would work with canti's?

Best wishes for a comfortable solution!
Here's a link to the VO quill to threadless, if you didn't already see it:

Don't know about your levers specifically but a lot of flat bar levers
these days have an adjustment for cable pull, so they can be used either
with v-brakes or canti/caliper brakes. Pull the lever back and see if
there is some mechanism for moving the pivoting cradle which holds the head

Liesl,
Also sorry to hear of your neck issue, but glad it's not something worse, I
keep getting older and new and lovely issues pop up! Ah the pleasure of
getting older.
On the matter of stems I agree with David the VO threadless adapter is a
option, not as streamlined as a Nitto Quill stem
