I'm not so sure, Dave, 21.76mm quill and 25.19 clamp sound within the measuring accuracy and production variations of the old French standard of 22mm x 25 mm. The 22mm quills were around until the mid 80's when the French manufacturers finally switched to English steerers. The 25.0 bars survived nearly as long if not just as long.
