I cheated, and watched the author speak about the book and her research on YouTube. Now I’m compelled to read the book.

I found the stem in a bike shop in Ojai, California!
So when all is said and done, I put just under $80 into a rescued bike; $28 forks, $21 stem, $15 chain, $13 tax and shipping. My labor free. Economically should have recycled the metal, given the bike was originally about $150-$200. Thanks all for the economic lesson.
New fork, stem, chain
Frozen step had to be cut off.
