Old Diamondback Caraca
I think I'm missing a spacer between the handlebar and stem. Anyone have any insight they'd like to share?

Looks like a 25.2 bar in a 26 or larger stem. You could shim it, but I'd just buy either a new bar or new stem.

Bikes are okay, I guess.

I'd guess someone used a 7/8" BMX bar for a four-bolt stem in the stock 25.4 clamp stem on your bike. Shim stock (fairly cheap and easy) or a different handlebar (less cheap and less easy).

No bulge in the middle means 22.2 bar. The stem could be either 25.4 (more probable) or 26.0
