Peugeot Folder Stem
#3
There is a 21.1 mm quill stem diameter, but I think (don't hold me to it) it was only used by Schwinn and Columbia. The French stem diameter was 22.0 mm, and the standard diameter was 22.2 mm. A difference of a whole millimeter is a lot to miss, so I think it may be a 21.1 mm. Let's let the experts chime in though.

Its actually 21.0mm

You won't find a quill that is long enough for the rise required in a folder.
My secret....
Use a 20.8 seatpost (old bmx size) and shim the top with 22.2 -> 25.4 shims, this allows for a threadless stem on top.
Although if you just want to replace your cycloman stem I have one with only minor rust marks I can send you.
Personally I wanted drop bars so I had to get a common size stem clamp size.
The bmx post is not going to be on a shelf in a bag but there are probably a few in your town somewhere.
The top 30mm of the post is expanded to 22.4 to accommodate the seat clamp and using the shims I managed to work a 1" threadless stem on. (Quite snugly)
