    You might have been confused as they list the ones you want as 1 1/8" - 1"
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    For the amount they charge I'd be tempted to get something like http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=16367 instead.
    '09 Enigma Eclipse with SRAM.
    '10 Tifosi CK7 Audax Classic with assorted bits for the wet weather
    '08 Boardman Hybrid Comp for the very wet weather.

    That gets over the stem problem but there is still the issue of the forks being too small fior the frame. Early RockShocks had a bolted steerer tube/crown and was just a case of undoing 4 bolts and knocking the legs out with a soft mallet and replacing with one of the right diameter/length. The next generation with bonded steerers were replacable if you had access to a press.
