threaded is the classiest, best-looking setup known to you humans.

threadless looks bad like lemur butts

Threads and lugs are cool.

the proportions are better ( you also need a nice old 3ttt to go with it)

It depends on the vintage of the bike. My once phlegmatic sense of aesthetics have changed greatly. I embrace the new look...

If you are going to use threadless on a luged bike- you need one of these

The bestest 1" threaded stem is this one...... Mine.

That De Rosa is cool. I would put a longer cable on the front brake though. Attached is my bike with Delta brakes. No frontal views though.

Love those classic Campagnolo equipped Italian racers!!! :beer:

You may have me there.......... That one is pretty neato. I had a Cinelli 1/R stem. It was cool to look at, less solid-feeling than the 1/A. Is that a Shimano?

and it is not neato- it is Nitto

I have to agree, lugs and threaded looks very elegant IMHO...here's my De Rosa with Ugo's panto'd signature...the close up pic was taken before I removed the Shimano components

Both can be done properly. I'm getting threaded on my next (rando) bike for adjustability. That wasn't a concern on this bike...

Lugs and threads go together like teenagers and drugs or plastic hair and surf boards - just the way things were meant to be.

I ain't got no plastic hair :confused: but I do have a several lugged steel machines with threaded headsets :D and a plastic bike with a threadless headset.
