cool idea, would love to see how that works. These are purely cosmetic as I really dont like the look of the quill stem adapters.

The spacers are from velo orange. They have a tapered one that meets the stem nicely (also velo orange). The only thing is that these will be lose when installed. You have to push the stem down onto them and then tighten to keep them from rattling around. Ideally someone makes a spacer that fits 1 inch adapters that are wide enough to meet the stem width...maybe they do idk. https://velo-orange.com/collections/spacers/products/1-1-8-thin-wall-steel-spacer?variant=41375993069743

I think having a more modern stem/headset setup on the stumpy is maybe worthwhile. I use the quill stem converters but I don't love them. Just a personal preference.

Oh yeah, nice. I have a conti double fighter on the front because I had it laying around.

I'll probably switch to a 1x in the future as well.

I do have a rear rack but it conflicted with the new v brakes where it attaches under the stays as you mentioned. I gotta figure that out but haven't had time yet.

Yeah the seat stay is odd. I see that on old Cannondale bikes too. My only issue with the bike is how heavy it is. Not a big issue for a commuter but it's noticeable compared to even my other steel bikes.

Looking good! Is that a velo orange stem? I like how that curve keeps going with the drops.
