No FD, single 56T chain ring. 11 - 28 T cassette (sram PG950). If I want to upgrade to compact drop bar, what components are needed (keep as many current components as possible)?

I have a question about handlepost compatibility. I'm looking to mod my Vitesse with either a bullhorn or some drops. I currently have what I think is the stock 25.4 clamping stem from Dahon on the bike. Having read your blog I'm wary of attaching a stem extender to anything other than the t-bar type stem. I've seen one from a P18 here in the UK relatively cheap - I wondered if you have any idea about compatibility between different models and their respective handle posts. Would a P18 fit a Vitesse? or is there something fundamentally different with the attachment to the top of the steerer tube with different models? I'm assuming they're all standard 1 1/8" diameter no? Any ideas?
