>>16794471 1/8" threadless. One of the two model years for Marin where you could get the high end models, rigid, steel, and threadless. So the sweet spot. I like quill stems though, I try to avoid putting the adapters on.
It's an odd (shit) diatech threadless headset too. There's no star-nut, it used a connical cable stop clamp with a connical washer under it to set preload, so you tightened the bolt on the cable clamp and it pushed the washer under it down onto the bearings. And then you somehow just jammed the stem on top of it to hold it in place and apparently they lost adjustment all the time.
I'm replacing it with a star-nut/top cap and a spacer for where the cable stop clamp was and I think it's gonna work. The bearings were good cond so i'd rather not swap the whole thing.
>>1679404this bike, oddly, is a 1 1/8" quill stem. Like, the fuck.
>>1679450rocky mountain. Here's a pic from before i restored it. It lived its life as a touring bike in japan.
>>1679455yeah it's cool aye. The pulley on the stem i had to cut out of a regular hardware store pulley. There's also a pulley on the seat tube to convert the top pull cable to the bottom pull fd.
