Wanted 22.2 quill stem for ‘89 Merlin Ti MTB

[PT Merlin]

Hi All,
Newly joined

I am nearing completion of a ‘89 Merlin Ti MTB (hybrid frame with steel rear triangle).
Really struggling to find a suitable period 22.2 quill stem.
I believe it originally had a Tioga T Bone - but finding a 22.2 seems impossible?

Would anyone have either a Tioga for sale, or anything good that would be age/type appropriate?

Many thanks,

Pete

Have you tried UK eBay?

There are two with 22.2 quill in black, one longer than the other, and a third in silver on eBay right now.

EBay could be your friend again, bought some of these for my Kona Hei Hei and was very impressed:
