100% do not understand
Me neither. But Maj is on rim brakes etc. No reason a 1" aheadset and shims to modern components should be problematic.
Hulsroy-
A shim is an admission that someone lacks the courage of their convictions. Like when people cut a donut in half and try and save the rest for later.
^ that makes no sense but someone in the office today cut a donut in half and left it in the box and it's kind of upset me but it may be because I'm hungover

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 :)
