I do have a vintage GB stem on an older Raleigh (1974) I am rebuilding - should I assume that's a 25.4? Was that standard before 26? It doesn't say in the catalog on Sheldon Brown's site what the size is.
Your GB stem is 25.4. Velo Orange makes 26.0 rando bars. Not the same quality or comfort as the Compass/Nitto bars, but okay. Be aware that rando bars, especially vintage ones, can be very narrow across the tops.
