"""I did not mean to imply that the bike was not rideable. I just think that the stem/headset adjustment, while supremely elegant, might be considered less than ideal if you have to overhaul the headset the night before a ride.""""
Actually headset adjustment is no problem - I built a tool to tension the
headset. Takes no more time to adjust before a ride than a normal Headset
or a threadless headset.
P.S. I have not needed to adjust the headset since it was assembled, and I
ride the bike all the time.
