I am also building up a new Sam. I am planning to use a quill-to-threadless riser ( https://www.somafabshop.com/shop/soma-high-rider-xl-quill-28-6-22-2-290mm-4984?category=983#attr=2406) so that I can experiment with different stem lengths using a few used threadless stems in varied lengths to dial in the geometry for comfort. Since these stems have removable faceplates, it should be relatively painless to play around with things without removing brakes and bar end shifters. Once I get the geometry figured out, I'd like end up with a Nitto Technomic or Tallux. On Monday, January 9, 2023 at 6:42:15 AM UTC-8 Davey Two Shoes wrote:
