Still wondering about any other brands/models of stems (and bars!) I should be keeping an eye out for.

OK, I'll add Titan and Ambrosio to any search criteria. Unsure on steel, I should try to figure out the weight penalty. The bike has a light frame, will have tubulars, but steel cotterless (Gnutti) cranks, so overall weight is up in the air a bit!

Hmm, interesting, never seen one on a road bike. Food for thought but I figure once I have the "correct" reach, would I ever adjust it? (Yeah, I know, that's missing the point!

Unfortunately, I cannot get it to you until the end of April 2023 (I spend my winter months in Jamaica riding my mashed up Bianchi which sat unused for two years, got loaned out and the borrower did not treat my Bianchi well)....
That looks
really cool, but I don't know about April! Trying to spend the winter on several restorations/completions starting next Tuesday.

That looks much more appealing that the garden-variety rounded-back GB sram, that's for sure.
