Is that a gnome?? Looks like a Cabbage Patch doll to me..

Definitely a gnome. Got it for £5 from Asda

Yep, 26 and 26! Apparently though ti stems are know for losing their shape a little... Bars were slipping, put carbon paste, still slipping, tightened up enough to stop slipping, creaks like hell... Considering cleaning the clamp area and wrapping in skateboard grip tape in the hope that it would sort it... Just need to get to a skate shop...

I think you'd find it a bit thick. Even if you swapped to a 25.4 bar, I don't know that you'd get the bar through the stem.
Could the creaking be the bolt maybe? You got plenty of lubricant on the bolt seat/thread? Don 't know what the appropriate lubricant would be for use with ti mind.
