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 &#8211; increasingly hard to find yet essential for period-correct builds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\"><strong>Condition<\/strong> 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&#8217;m Paul &#8211; let&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\"><strong>Workshop Wisdom<\/strong> The 25.4mm clamp diameter requires careful stem matching &#8211; be sure to verify compatibility. When mounting, hand-tighten the stem bolts evenly in a cross pattern before final torque to ensure perfect alignment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\"><strong>Tech Specs<\/strong> Sizing:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"-mt-1 [li&gt;&amp;]:mt-2 list-disc space-y-2 pl-8\">\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Clamp diameter: 25.4mm<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Width: 37cm (center-to-center)<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Reach: 115mm<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Drop: 120mm<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Shape: curved drop<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Top surface: rounded<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Cable routing: external<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">Specifications:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"-mt-1 [li&gt;&amp;]:mt-2 list-disc space-y-2 pl-8\">\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Material: Aluminum alloy<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Weight: 265 grams (estimated)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\"><strong>Value Assessment<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"-mt-1 [li&gt;&amp;]:mt-2 list-disc space-y-2 pl-8\">\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Market Value: $30-45 USD<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Original Retail: Unknown<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">Worth it because:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"-mt-1 [li&gt;&amp;]:mt-2 list-disc space-y-2 pl-8\">\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Period-correct for vintage Centurion builds<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Hard-to-find narrow 37cm width<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Classic road racing geometry<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Durable aluminum construction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\"><em>Working on a classic Centurion restoration?
