Silver Thomson stem and post would suit it well I think. A bit of class for a classy frame

Not really. I have Thomson on my 97 Kona Cindercone and the diameter is about the same as the frame tubing.
Saying that silver Bontrager kit would suit the bike very well though IMO.

well finally got some time to do a bit more, UN52 dropped in last week. then earlier in the week received some Shimano cranks, and a NOS Race Face XY from the states in 27.0.....
That stem had been bugging me so I dug out the Bontrager one and 2 evenings of sanding and polishing later it transformed from a dull satin black stem into a gleaming shiny beauty!
bit more polishing to bring the cranks up a bit nicer and the the scary bit...attacking a NOS raceface XY with the sandpaper to remove the black anodizing...worked out quite well I think!
Have a nice Silver Hope Ti-glide rear wheel coming during the week so will be on the look out for a front to match.
Anywa, enough waffling, here are the updated pics (not taken in kitchen this time so no chance of pastry mishaps!)
