Wanted, old steel racing drop bars like the ones pictured..

37ccmflyte · Oct 5, 2015

Anyone got some bars like these floating around in the spares they could part with?
I will be re-chroming them so as long as they are straight, the condition of the finish does not matter. Not sure on the diameter I need, but it's to fit a 1930's bike...

Love the curves!

Cropped the two upper pictures as on my screen I could not see the bars fully!

third time lucky!

I reviewed the post that time to make sure it was right...
Should have done that the first time.
You live and learn... yeah, ok... I JUST live...

Now they are both EXCELLENT questions! I am not really sure.. it was more a matter of what looked right.
But at a guess, by waving my hands around in the air with a tape measure (hardly scientific) about 19.5 inch wide?? Plus or minus an inch or so... as for the drop I really don't know.

BUT I will know the right bars when I see them! It's the curve and line I am after more than anything.

Don't forget to take a map, good solid shoes, some extra water and a butterfly net!
