I'm having a really hard time finding 1" quill stems with a removable face plate. I would love to switch between my drops and my risers, but there doesn't seem to be anything out there other than those ugly profile stems.
my other option is getting a "modern" threadless stem and one of those nashbar quill 1" to 1 1/8" adapters. they look kind of lame, though.

Very scarce, in my experience.
I had a couple Dimension ones in the past but they were UGLY.

Salsa has (had) a nice 1" quill with the SUL pop-top. I bought mine two years back but have subsequently moved on to threadless fork.

that is 80 dollars well spent though. those stems are really unbeatable and worth every penny. a lot of track racers use them because they are so stiff. check ebay perhaps?

Frankly, back to the OP- there is always the option of buying a "convertor" for $12 that allows use of a threadless stem on a threaded fork. It aint the most elegant way of running things, but it will allow for infinitely more options- particularly if someone needs a hideous rising stem.

My LBS found me a CODA branded 1" quill stem with a removable faceplate. Not the prettiest thing but I think it cost me $5 so I was pretty happy.
