I've actually got the original color matched fork for my Klein Quantum out being converted from threaded to threadless, which allows me to keep the sweet original paint scheme.,
Good to know about the 1" carbon forks.

That is something I hadn't thought about and none probably exist. However, if you run bars from the late 90's or early 2000's, those will be 26.0 or 25.4 and 1" threadless stems for that clamp size do exist.
