MGOOF : Modern groupset on old frame

Why not a steerer extender in combination with a threadless headset (and a less bulky stem)?

I agree with @kjlem & @WimVDD - similar colours & less chunky stem is the way.

Edit: also slamming if your back can cope helps.

could you not use one of these with a 1" to 1 1/8" convertor?

Much cleaner look. Also available in black or other people make similar I think? Assuming you can find one in the country the right length at the moment that is...

Threadless fork + shim is the neatest solution
