I have seen a bodge of 1 1/8" forks into a 1" headtube. You would need a couple of different loose-ball headsets to get bits from. It wont be pretty, and the sealing of the headset will be crap / nonexistent. This was on a retro MTB where 1 inch forks are hard to get hold of.
Don't do it unless you have to IMO. -

k so on to my next question, does anyone have a 54cm ish frame, dont really care about condition i just want to get riding now, to trade for my vintage holdsworth, the one i sanded down and i have now primed it white, im not sure wether or not the rear right drop out is bent but it would be an ideal bike for refurbishment or polo?
i doubt there will be any offers but lets see what happens.

duno, the forks are from a trials bike, i didnt think anyone would want them, theyre pace forks....
these are them on ebay but this is not my sale, they have a few scratches on but have never been used for trials riding as my brother is lazy when it comes to building/finishing a bike.
if anyone wants to trade them for something lets see what youve got..
on the bike ive got the front forks are bent slightly and the stem is seized into them, so when i got them off i measured them and there 1' threaded, i have some pace forks lying around and theyre 1'1/8" and i thought theyd go on the bike alright, so i tried them and they fitted on to the frame but it was quite tight, i didnt have to force them or anything but they rub ever so slightly,,,,so my question is, would i be able to use these forks on the frame and just grease them up or should i just buy some new forks or a new frame? or trade the frame with someone who has a cheapo frame to trade that takes 1'1/8" forks???
