Ok final update (I think)-
a few other problems I've had to overcome- the bar shim a sourced showed up to be not the right one, I don't know what happened there... So I made my own from a 1" steerer, a saw, a file, and a blue Sharpie = SOLVED. - I don't know if I mentioned if my "Dog Collar" was broken, but it was, cracked at the 12 o'clcock. And since you're reading this thread, you'll know these are IMPOSSIBLE to find (anyone have one in 31.8?). I thought I had sourced something I could make work... and it does... but not really. Whatever works for now until I can find a proper replacement.
I was also lucky to have had a buddy from across the country find me a Ti Syncros post in the right size. So I had to have that.
