Bit of a niche one but I’d thought I’d put a post up to see if anyone can help.
I’m looking for an 80’s mtb/atb in size 21”, it needs to take a 21.1mm quill stem - like a late 80’s Raleigh, or I know the Orbit frontiers did too.
Reynolds 531 preferred or maybe 501? Has anyone got anything knocking about that they’re not currently using.
Thanks people. 👍
 
I have a mid 80s Shogun, so before they got all cheap and nasty at some point in the 90s. I think it was fitted with 18 speed Deore or maybe even XT as standard so a decent enough frame. No idea on steerer size though. Im on holiday at the moment but can take a look when I'm back next week. I recall it's fairly large but again can check when I'm back if it's of any interest.
 
21.1mm iwas a bmx standard and only found on cheaper mtb frames

You are very unlikely to find a suitable frame in Reynolds
I think Raleigh Ozarks, Thunder Road are 531 and 21.1mm, my 501 Montage is too. I had a late 80’s Orbit Frontier that was too.. I know it’s an obscure-ish size but I’m sure they’re out there.
