internet conversion table tells me it's 21.844 mm.

anyone suggest a short reach stem to fit this steertube

anyone suggest a dropped randonneur bar around 17" to fit it?

thanks
Something is screwy there. Old Schwinns and Ross bikes had 0.833" stems, which is 21.15mm or so. Old french bike had 22.0mm. The Raleigh should have the standard 22.2mm.
Try to stuff a standard 22.2mm stem in there and see if it fits.
