ok... so how would that fork be fitted with the same gooseneck as all the other bikes being assembled before it leaves the factory?

and that wasn't the only 21.7mm gooseneck i've found online.. the other two on Ebay looked terrible, IMO. A NOS with a REALLY SHORT extension, and a dinged up and scratched mess Pivo brand.
and then, there's the Short extension SR in my stock here. and a Pivo with a nick in the short Extension.... etc.
pretty sure i've run into the Monark 21.7mm stem issue before, but it's been DECADES, in that case... i owned one, briefly, WAY Back When.
what you're doing is trying to say Carrier Pigeons never existed, because they're extinct now.
hey, suit yourself, i guess.
the 21.7 size was so close to the 22.0 size that most get them mixed up, and blame their poor measuring tools...
Peugeot and Monark have both used that size.... and i'd think that Gitane may have too....
the search i used was "French Goosenecks Stems"
good ones at fair prices come and go quickly on Ebay. A few days ago, only that trashed Pivo was up.
