Finally riding a big boys bike
I have been looking for weeks to find the "right" handle bars for a older (1930's) racing style bike without much luck. I want steel, drop bars with that graceful continuous curve down from the centre (as seen from the front).
Does anyone know a place that sells them?
Looking at so many handle bars reminds me of working on old wooden boats... the old boat builders are always talking about a "fair line" but they struggle to define it. It's a line that you know when you see it as just being "right" from all angles.... I see that same thing with those old drop bars I see on some old racing bikes.
Ok so I am rambling a little now....
The nearest I can get to the image I have in my head are on the attached bike... (not my bike!)
Anyone got a set like these??
Regards
Gavin
