Or if you are going to ride it, get an old pair of forks, get the steerer tube cut & welded onto it  :daumenhoch:

Genius...thanks for that, makes complete sense to me.  :daumenhoch:
It is only a show bike so that should do the trick....

Thanks boys.  :-*

I think the only option is to cut and shut the fork steerer. But do it as far down the forks as possible as ideally a sleeve should be inside the join. It needs to be near the bottom as you need to be able to fit your stem down the steerer tube.  :daumenhoch:

Cant you stick them in a pot of compost and wait for them to grow a little ?     :LolLolLolLol:

another stupid way would be to cut the headtube on the frame down, it probably wont be enough but then at least you'll have matching fooked f&f.  ::)
