If you're replacing the fork, you might want to consider threadless. There are a few 1" models around, and it allows you to run 31.8 bars, which is a worthwhile upgrade IMO - a fair bit stiffer, and the bar clamp is a sensible size for drop bars, unlike the traditional diameter which was always a bit iffy with all the torque on it from weight on the hoods...

1" threadless stems are unobtainable, but you just use a shim. Looks pretty neat:



Although if you want a 17° stem like that, there's the Thomson Elite, and not much else.
