Description
Notes from MyBikeThing From Centurion’s golden era, these handlebars represent the classic road racing geometry that defined an entire generation of cycling. The 37cm width combined with traditional drop dimensions exemplifies the handling characteristics that many riders developed their skills around. What sets these apart is their 25.4mm clamp diameter – increasingly hard to find yet essential for period-correct builds.
Condition Clean and straight with a brushed aluminum finish showing honest patina from its era. All mounting surfaces are in excellent shape with no damage or deformation. Want to see more angles or get specific measurements? I’m Paul – let’s talk about your vintage build and make sure these match your vision! You put in the miles, we put in the work! 30 day Guarantee, rest assured of fit, function and condition.
Workshop Wisdom The 25.4mm clamp diameter requires careful stem matching – be sure to verify compatibility. When mounting, hand-tighten the stem bolts evenly in a cross pattern before final torque to ensure perfect alignment.
