Yes. I generally agree with Grant on threaded vs. threadless. My approach to riding is not going to require any compromises if I use a threaded stem - honestly, I just like to get out there and ride, I don't need to be fastest. The Technomic reference is from my use of them in my lugged steel Treks - I have a mile of stem showing on the largest Trek frame they made...my expectation (given the sloping TT and giant head tube) is that I wouldn't have as much showing on a 63cm San Marcos.
