Schwinn LeTour Headset/stem

So i have a schwinn Letour frame, have been riding it as my primary bike (fixed) and love it. however, i lost the stem to it recently. To my dismay, I learned that the headtube is an odd sizing (21.08mm or something). Anyone know anything about these, any stems still available in this size? right now i have rigged a threadless stem converter, but yearn to someday be riding a quill stem again.

They are: 21.15mm (.833 inches) I believe that some BMX bikes share that size...I have an SR one in excellent shape and would sell it for a modest price. This one is: 7" long x 2 1/2" reach. Her's a couple pics.
**Edit...I forgot I saw a couple on Sheldons site: https://sheldonbrown.com/harris/opc.html#stem

Maybe it is best to discuss this privately.
