Philippe Aluminium Handlebars - 25.2mm Clamp, 385mm Width - Vintage Bicycle Drop Bars R888-11

A Philippe drop bar signals French handlebar engineering. This one measures 385mm across. The 25.2mm clamp diameter suits a specific generation of road stems. Aluminium keeps the bar responsive. It also avoids adding unnecessary mass to the front end.

A width that suits vintage road positioning

385mm is a narrower profile, typical of older road bikes. Tight shoulder alignment was the norm back then. The 25.2mm clamp is a precise fit. Measure your stem before committing; mixing clamp sizes can damage both components.

Condition is always the first question with used bars. The photos are the product record: they show the actual surface, the bends, and any marks from previous installation. Major faults would be noted here. If none are listed, the bar is free of cracks, deep pitting, or deformation. Minor cosmetic wear from storage and use may still be present, as with any vintage part.

For alternate widths, the 400mm 25.2mm racing handlebar offers a slightly broader stance, while the Philippe 410mm bar steps up for riders wanting more leverage.
