Steel 1 1/8" threadless stems?
Anyone know of any nice steel stems? Also comfort bars, again preferably steel, something like the Nitto Dove bar.

Why in the heck would you want a steel bar and stem?
it can't be a vibration issue since a carbon bar with a good quality AL stem will do just as good of a job, if not better.
If you MUST have steel try Rivendell, personally I've worked on too many bikes whose handlebars had bubbling rust bursting through chrome.

You still haven't explained your desire for steel parts

In my opinion a steel stem looks nicer than an Al one. I don't think matters of taste can be intelligently argued, but feel free to try.
