Stem size in a Nishiki Riviera mixte?

[sarahspins]

Just because I'm a slow learner, do I understand that the VO bars WILL fit in that stem, but just didn't fit in your frame? (Sorry, I am a bit slow...) If they do, that may be my best combo for this Nishiki.

Yep, that's exactly it.. my steer tube is just too small.
