Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

To the OP.

I took a moment and searched out a photo of a bike like yours. (here).

It doesn't appear to have a 1-1/8" fork, but photos can be deceiving. So there may be a possibility that the stem has a step, measuring 1" where you measured it, and narrowing to 7/8" inside the fork.

To be sure, loosen and lift the stem as I described in the post immediately above, and check for a step, then measure the part that was inside the fork.
