Could you please elaborate on what makes 1" headsets problematic? I am going to need references to scientific articles..
Hulsroy-
1" headtube is a lifestyle choice on the lines of homeopathy or essential oils

In general nicer, more widely available forks are in 1 1/8 (carbon), and the cascading effect of 1 1/8 to other headsets, replacement bearings, clamp diameter of stems and bars mean that 1 inch stuff is restrictive and I think turns one into crate digger for older but not necessarily nicer looking or better functioning stuff.
@Maj wants steel forks and that is their human right - a human right that I respect - but one that I absolutely, 100% do not understand :)

@Maj you are better than 1 inch headsets. Life doesn't have to be like that.
However, I understand your brief better now, thank you for cascading the slide deck. I can see why you were leaning towards the mono now - although it's only 32 without guards. I think what you want is also what I in a dream world want: a straight tt nippy and fun track bike but without punishing track geo that also takes up to 32 tyres. I can only think of Brother All Day or maybe a 2019 or 2020 Bombtrack Arise that fits the client's request
