...yes, who wants a black cap with three B's on it? 
Has anyone used a steerer tube extension unit?

I got a Velo Orange threadless adapter for 1" threaded forks from Jamie at Freshtripe. Gives you plenty height. A 1 1/8" Ahead stem will sit nicely on top.

Indeed. Tricky dilemma. There are some nice NOS stems on the On One website...

Im considering using this to get me out of a hole, I have a 145mm head tube and a set of threaded forks with steerer 130mm!
Seeing the previous comment on weight, was this significant on the Velo?

Hi, here's a link to the adaptor on Velo Orange, with all the specs:
http://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/vo-threadless-stem-adaptor.html
The VO stem adaptor is robust. Got this from Freshtripe. Weight wise, it roughly doubles up on the weight of your average stem. This could be crucial, if you're counting the grams. I've got a 150mm Forge Ahead stem (On-One), on it at the mo – this is chunky beast in itself, but it's on an old old Clockwork stripped down for 1x8 speed road commuting. If I'm going to off road and need to do some carrying, I swap back to an old all in one stem set up.
Sounds like a 130mm short steerer is going to be problematic though...

Hmm just realised with the steerer tube shorter than my head tube what I actually need is a steerer extender which maintains the 1" through the headset top bearing race
maybe one of these????
Any advice appreciated
