I was hoping for a stem that is 1" at the steerer clamp to save me running a shim, but oversized at the bars to save me needing to buy thinner bars when I have plenty of 31.8 to try.
I think a quill would look better too, but might be too much of a modern/classic clash. The other thing is that in my head at least, it sounds easier and cheaper to get the fit right using a standard stem as I have various lengths and angles at home. Which I guess means I've answered my own question - just buy a bloody shim and use a normal stem that I possess.
Agree, it still sounds risky using those fork adapters.

Ah okay, interesting, although still feels a bit sketchy to me.. good luck with whatever approach you go for!
Still a bit confused on the stem.
The frameset is 1” threaded, but you want to use 31.8 bars?
Stems do exist for that.
Although if it were me, I’d probably keep it classic with a standard quill and 26.0 bars.
