yes

Sure can. Curious what fork you plan to use. Well, also curious about the frame your building.

If you don't have a fork, lemmie throw out a recommendation for the Soma Fabrications CroMo forks. The one I have is threaded and straight bladed, but they sell threadless. I really like chrome forks on older lugged steel bikes. They're heavy but I've been happy with mine. When I was in the market for a 1 inch fork a couple years ago, I really didn't find much out there.

Bike Nashbar often has 1inch non threaded carbon forks for less than a hundred and I would guess the e bay will too. You will also have to change the headset or at least the upper headset, or get a cheater plug that allows you to use a modern stem over your old quill fork.

I have the cheater plug in my mid monetize pinarello. Don't do it it looks fugly. I have found a 1inch colnago fork that look the business but am worried about people saying I shouldn't mix pinarello with colnago.
(Not really)
Is there a company that makes a quill stem for 31.8 bars?

an inexpensive carbon fork is a nice upgrade to an old steel bike, since the 1" is kind of an off size you can find them on ebay for a good price, just make sure the steer tube is long enough on a used one, same deal for the ahead set, there are a lot of ebay or any local shop can get you one

what sort of bike? I ride a steel bike with a 1" fork, it's my favorite, I have raced on it for over 10 seasons

It is a Pinarello Treviso. I was thinking of using a carbon fork

Pinarello tr. Thinking of using a carbon fork

Forgot to ask. What did u use for a headset. Any recommendations?

I love the look of old steel bikes kitted out with all modern kit. It's a great look in my book.

Please share with a pic when you are done!

i really, really like the Chris King, i have used them on road and cross bikes and they last forever. Campy also makes a nice headset

One of bikes from the 80's has a cast crown steel fork. It is great for going down hills even on sketchy pavement. You should ride it before you switch.

what's the rear spacing on that bike, by the way, is it the modern 130 size?

If not, it's fairly easy to cold set it wider, if so desired...
