Leaning this way for sure, it's just tough to find 1" threadless stems these days :(

I'd go threadless too. Unless you want the quill stem look and micro height adjustability. You can always shim to modern stems. Or have a custom steel stem built >:).

Yeah, I would ideally like to have a custom stem built, and have tried to get this done with Bilenky, but... let's just say... I've been having issues just getting the frame and fork across the finish line with him, so the stem would eventually have to come from another builder once I figure out what length works best.
