Sorry for the confusion.
So, what say you, everyone??
The answer is still the same. Older bars, depending on the age, can come in several sizes. There are also several sizes of threadless stems.
So, loosely, you can probably find a threadless stem to fit your older bars but not just any threadless stem will fit any older bars.
