I also didn’t know that Soma made stems and they look really nice, you can even get them in black but on their website only 80 and 100 (I think) are available. Kinda sad, I think Soma stuff is really nice. Almost too nice for my bike. I do like the 3TTTs that I’ve seen.
Sure thing. Yeah, the Nitto Dynamic is the one. Still made. Not as nice as the top of the line Pearl, but still good, and appropriate for that bike. Best to be sure about the bar size. 25.4 and 26 are not inter-compatible.
FWIWI - Fit looks just right to me. Yeah, it's a LeMond fit, which is the race fit everyone used in the mid 80s, including me. If you're comfortable with it, there is nothing wrong with it at all. If you want to get precise about it, the Competitive Cyclist fit calculator works pretty well.
There's always some leeway for personal preference WRT stem length. I'd expect to see about and 11 on a bike with that size and fit, maybe a 12. Depends on TT length, torso & arm length, etc. As above, use whatever you want.
