I've got a HP-6207 Shimano headset (see
http://www.velobase.com/ViewSingleCo...0-87AA450432FC )
I need to buy a new stem for it - the one I have is a 1piece and the clamp bolt stripped out the hole in the stem. I'm going to buy a quill adapter so I can buy a threadless stem - but I need to figure out what diameter I need to look for. Existing stem says '90' 'ITM' and 'Italy' on one side - which makes me think it's 90mm long and made by ITM. Other side has a stamp that says '85' which I'm assuming is the year. That's all I know of it though.
VeloBase says 'Available Threading: 25.4mm' for the italian one (which this is).
My plan is to replace it with one of these:

and one of these:

Will that quill adapter at the (1-1/8" fork) to 28.6mm (1-1/8" threadless stem) fit my headset - and then will that adjustable stem fit that adapter?
Everyone seems to have a different name for each dimension.
Also - any reco's on a better adapter and stem are appreciated. I'm not looking to drop a while bunch of cash - but $50 for the setup wouldn't be out of the question. I'd replace it with a one-piece w/clamp again except that it's all taped and wrapped so I'd rather not take it all apart and re-tape it again.
