on the hunt for a 25mm diameter quill stem, i believe this is a french size. ideally 90mm but am flexible as im sure they are a bugger to find.

would prefer to keep original bits before i start messing around with the forks.

25mm?

Sheldon Brown says 22mm instead of 22.2mm for the BSA standard ones.

When you try to fit a 'standard one', it should be too big for the french headset, right?

I have a vintage Belleri one the right size, from memory it's even 90mm or thereabouts, nearly new, £20

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
