Just about every straight bar has a 1" clamp. But only drop bars from Japan or Taiwan use that size. The more common drop bar clamp br clamp diameter is 26mm and straight bars of that diameter are rare.
Measure your bar's diameter in the bulge area just outside the stem. You don't need a precise measurement, since you're only trying to confirm if it's 1" or larger (the stems brand might also be a guide).
Looks like it may be a Nitto stem, you can see the logo behind the computer. So it might be 25.4...
Cannondale started specing Nittos in 1985, it looks like, and they were paired with Belleri bars which I'd guess were 26.0. Seems like Cannondale would've went for the "fancier" 26.0.
