Regarding the 22.2 stem size -
These Gitanes constructed with NERVOR steerers oft have oversize steerer i.d.'s. Have had them where a 21.9/22.0 stem just rattles around and cannot get tight enough even thought the steerer o.d. is 25.0 and the thread metric. Do not know if problem lies at door of MICMO or at that of NERVOR but it is certainly a pain.
