Finally, although you can get "capped" or two-bolt quills, they are rare. That means bar tape comes off more frequently for maintenance.
And quills often scratch the bars. You didn't mention the "death quill" either I've never actually seen a broken one, but I do know they were awfully light -- apparently too much so. Interesting commentary. I'm sure you've seen threadless stems attached below the top of the steerer tube with more spacers added above it - as an alternative to having the steering tube cut.
I'm tall enough that cutting is usually not a consideration, but for those with extra length in the steerer, I would advise them to leave it uncut. It gives you better adjustability and the next buyer of your bike will appreciate that. I agree totaly with the author of this article and with John. And this is wright Well this is of course personal opinion. I should like to ask if there is anybody who know what treatment is applied on stems made in Italy to be so shiny. I bought some time ago a Dancelli from '80 and the former owner did not care too much about the aspect and the stem was with scratches.
I mechanically polished it but I can not get the shine which is present also on stems from this article and, more than this, after polishing I observed that the surface is extremely sensible and is very easy to scratch it. So, does anybody know the right treatment to get the original aspect and also hardness of stem surface? Anodisation is out of discussion as it give dull or mat surface. Some of that shine aspect you mention comes from the type of alloy used in the stem.
Cold forging takes stronger alloys, and they are typically the ones that can take the nicest shine and keep that lustre longer. If the stem had been anodized originally, you'd need to remove all traces of the anodizing before you'd be able to get a good shine. If it's a softer alloy - as might be used on a hot-forged or melt-forged stem, you can get a decent polish, but as you mention, it doesn't seem to last long.
If you are on a road bike that does not go over 40mph on a descent or regularly push above mph in a sprint, I am not sure if there is much of bonus to outweigh the aesthetics for a steel road bike. I do like the way flared headset handle shock and handling.
Found this post googling. Seeking reassurance that I'm making an okay choice buying an expensive for me road frame that has a threaded headset. I'm an overthinker.
