Don't forget the 21.15mm size.
But, that Nishiki should have a 22.2mm stem, otherwise known as a 1" stem. Not to be confused with the 25.4mm (1") diameter stem that fits into a 1 1/8" steerer. The bar clamp size should be 25.4mm, the 60mm is the extension.

There is a lot to consider when buying a quill stem, you need to make sure the three sizes are correct, plus the height.
