my 97 gt is all of the above, but my brother's (who got a new bike the same time as me in 1997) Raleigh was a quill stem... we didn't know (or care) about the difference then.
both our bikes cost the same, and had similar componentry, but the GT was available with a 60mm rockshox indy c as well, maybe that was the difference?

Figure this is the best place to ask. Was there an era when mountain bikes had 1 1/8 inch headtubes but still used rim brakes? And rigid forks. I think there is but not sure what the era it was?
