Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I reckon he must mean the upper terminus of the bolt whose lower terminus is the star nut, in threadless fork systems. What would make it custom? All the diameters are standard. I do see blank ones that could be etched with grandiose visions of dragons and wizards, albeit on a small scale, with a dremel tool.

Go to eBay and search using key words "top cap".
This will return several answers.
