Not strictly true. He builds with 1 1/8" too, if you request it or if your size requires it. Dave believes that 1" is enough for all but the biggest/most powerful of bike riders.
I haven't noticed any detrimental factors as of yet with the 1" headtube. I definitely think it looks better with respect to tube proportions.

Is there a reason why he built with a 1" steerer? Is it just to use some specific lug? All the Kirk bike I see on the internet use a 1 1/8 stem with a shim and that seem strange on a custom bike
