If you wanted to replace them or just to know, it's a 1 1/8 "threadless steerer" design. The most common type/size used on Mountain Bikes for many years. You would buy a "threadless" stem and a bar, 1" flat or hi-rise or...
The bars look OK though. To buy different is cheap for such bikes. www.jensonusa.com
Just to look, using my given specs.
You mean, "threaded" not "threadless", right? Those things pre-date threadless by close to a decade, I would think. I would also guess they predate 1 1/8" too but not for sure. I would guess 1" but I suppose 1 1/8" would be possible. Easy to measure or the dude at the bike shop can probably tell by looking. Hard to tell from pictures......
