Information On Wooden Racing Handlebars

[Dweber]

Looking for information on this type of wooden handlebars. Would be very cool on a early racer! Saw these but not for sale. Anyone else have one they are willing to part with? [email protected]

I've been searching for those as well Dave …. for many many years now!!!
I only know of 3 or 4 sets after all these years of searching. Although there is
a set in someones show case here on the Cabe too.

I had tried to buy the set that sold at Copack a few years ago too.... Very happy with the ones that found me!

Here is my latest information on those
wooden racing bars originating with
Paul Genaro (CABE member, bike) ...
a sale's path of action ...

Bike >>> patric >>> Scott Mc >>>
Bricycle >>> back to me.

Really have no idea what my motivation
was to sell these, just a few years ago.

But they are back .. and are going on
a tall, Miami-Built, diamond frame.

The chainring will be a 30-T .. inch pitch ..
Miami Star ... OR ... a 24-T .. racer .. inch-
pitch .. Miami 1916 Design.

....... patric

^^^ These were available as 22-T .. 24-T .. 26-T ... and 28-T. ^^^

And "THAT FERRULE" is a challenge, that's why I had to make the clamp to mount the bars, the ferrule is 1.25" (roughly in diameter....it's NOT round)... But I'm pretty happy with the way it's coming out!
