Finding parts for a 1 1/4" steer tube

Hey everybody I am building up my first road bike after I found a 2013 giant defy advanced 1 carbon frame and fork for $150 on Craigslist. So Far I have gotten the bottom bracket and the local bike shop got me a headset. I'm having trouble finding a stem and headset top cap and star nut for the 1 1/4" steer tube. I found a ritchey stem on Amazon but nothing else. Yes my bike shop can order what I need but it's all giant parts. And I'd like to see if there are more options out there. Also I have only been into mountian biking so the road thing is new to me and I would love any advise on this build you can give me. Thanks guys

FSA make a 1/4 integrated headset, No. 54 which should fit.

They also do stems but not cheap. Keep an eye on ebay for the older FSA OS-120 - that's the right size and cheap.
Specialized have stems with shims to adjust the angle. If you remove these, they're 1.25" https://www.cyclestore.co.uk/specialize ... lsrc=aw.ds
They come with a top cap.0 -
another option would be to fit a 1 1/8 fork with a 1 1/2 to 1 1/8 reducer headset, can fit normal 1 1/8 stem then
(probably cheaper to just get a 1 1/2 headset, stem etc for your bike but just listing this as another option)0
