I really have to commend Fuji on the quill stem. While the modern threadless kind may have some advantages, it also has just as many disadvantages, the most obvious one being ugliness. I really deplore so many of today's KOF builders using the threadless ones. They're so cheap and dirty and stick out like a sore thumb.
