Marin Stem Size help

[SpinThoseLegs89]

I have just bought this marin off ebay, I believe its a 1992 model, but I'm trying to figure out what the size the quill stem is so I can purchase a quill stem adapter before the bike arrives.

Any help would be much appreciated

1 1/8 steerer according to the catalogue: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/gallery.../Marin+Catalogue+1992+v2/Scan10004-1.jpg.html.

However, just in case there was 'a change of specification without further notice' situation during the production run, you could get one that comes with a shim so that you're covered in either case, e.g. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Raleigh-GN...m+x+quill+stem+adapter&qid=1676752991&sr=8-22 or https://www.spacycles.co.uk/m9b0s88p1833/SYSTEM-EX-Quill-Adaptor.
