Tidy quil to Ahead conversion

[oldgit]

I'm looking at a few later 1" quil frames, but I want to run all my newer kit.
Off the peg adaptors seem the only choice, but are there any light ones?

Bought a Profile one off here the other day. Arrived this morning and it feels pretty light to me, certainly lighter others I've used. Its 1" quill to 1 1/8" ahead, not like some that do 1" quill to 1" ahead and an additional shim for 1 1/8" stems.

The Profile was the smartest I could find...might be able to lighen it more by shortening the 'angled' end to a bare minimum.

There's a Deda available too - I think a bit lighter and more understated than the Profile - certainly does the job

Think the Deda is 1" quill to 1" ahead, worth noting that you'll need a shim for 1 1/8th ahead stems.

AHead on a 1" frame is FUGLY!
