Retro MTB bits: Seatpost, quill adapter, stem and risers

Help me get my new retro mtb and recycle components!

Shopping list:
1. Seatpost, can't work out the exact size but going to assume 25.0 mm as its a 90s era MTB ( and based on @t0-ster's post here . I can always shim it if its too small. Any colour condition so long as it can fit a normal modern saddle rail.
2. Quill stem adaptor, 21.1 or 22.1 and I'll file it down (again based on @t0-ster 's post). Same, no preference on colour or condition, just functional!
3. Handlebars & stem. Current set up (see photo) is too short so maybe something abut 80mm and bars, anything with abit of rise to them compared to the pan flat ones I have. Something to get me going so I can work out what I'd like from there.
4. SJS canti rack
Postage to Falkirk or in the unlikely event you're local (within restriction travelling) will happily collect.

Thanks!

I’ve got a couple of NOS mtb stems for sale. Bit longer than the 80mm, but got a 1” syncros one and a 1 1/8” tioga.

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
