What kind of "steerer tube clamp" does this bike use? Is it the old time quill style? Or some weird hybrid of modern stem clamps? In the pictures it looks like the stem/bars are a quill style. With some kind of ugly clamp on top preventing the quill from sinking deeper into the fork. Weird.

I don't know but it caught my eye in the overnight mail
especially after the Cassandras among us flipped out over
carbon fork recalls.

I don't have one of these, but my daughter had an identical looking
balance bike. I strongly suspect the differences are the stickers,
and the price tag. Her bike used clamps that were basically the same
as quick release seat post binder levers.

The real defect is that the tube material is insufficently strong...
