I like the sleek looks of a steel frame with thin tubes and a 1" head tube and I particularly like the straight 1" fork Vetta provides combined with the sleek custom stem.

Fair play, my Saffron has 1" steerer and it's really lovely. Though it's not custom for me and I have an a-head stem installed, the thought of having to unwrap bars and remove brakes to change stem always sways me back towards A-head. But then again, the frame isn't custom to me so size is always a bit of an issue ;)

Apart from the custom stem for this Vetta project (which, btw, was made by Bart from WINDcycleworks for 1" steerer and 26mm bars diameter) only a few ahead stems look sleek enough to go with a 1" headtube. The Syntace F99 combined with a 1 1/8"shim as seen on the Merlin is one of the few.
