I guess I don't understand the point of 31.8 if you're going to have the stem that high. It may be very slightly stiffer but the black new parts clash, and there is no shortage of nice looking classic bend silver bars with 26.0 clamps. There are even two compact 26.0 handlebars (Civia Emerson and Soma HWY 1) that are available in silver if you want to run modern compact bars with a quill stem.
