What the?! My 2002 Jamis is Vintage?
I bought a new to me Jamis Quest a while back. Bike is in fantastic condition needed nothing. Frame fits but I found the bars a little cramped so I grabbed a new stem with more rise.
I learned that bars have grown in the last 15 years. Up from 24mm diameter to 31.8mm.
Anyone know where I can get a stem with 24mm diameter clamp? They seem tough to find and I'd rather not change the bars for this.

Are you sure of the size. 25.4mm (1") is far more common, and if the bars are European in spec, then 26mm is a possibility.

Bars are Easton. The photo I took makes it look like 24 but I could be wrong. Stem is Ritchey.

26mm and 1" clamp bars and stems are still available, once you verify the clamp (probably 26mm for easton bars) search for stems with the right spec and you'll find them.
You didn't fine 24mm because that's not a size.
