How to I install a quill stem on my fixie?
so right now I have a threadless stem on my fixie (Trek Soho S) but I really want a Quill stem. How would I do this? would i need to buy a new fork??
You don't have to stick with 1 1/8, you can use a headtube reducer and use all 1" parts.

You'd need a head tube reducer, a new threaded 1" headset, and a new threaded 1" fork with matching geometry. This is still way more trouble than it's worth, and you'll be left with a bike with a funny looking head tube that is technologically inferior to the bike you started with.
If you're hell bent on a having a bike with a quill stem, sell your bike and buy another.
