Nitto MTC Quill Adapter

4.5

Best quality adapter for modernizing vintage bicycle cockpits.

This is the bridge between vintage aesthetics and modern handling. It allows you to swap out outdated, flexy quill stems for stiff, contemporary threadless options without replacing your classic fork. You sacrifice a bit of period-correct purity, but you gain a significantly more responsive and reliable front end.
