Moustache Handlebar 25.4 - 440 mm Vintage Bike Aluminium R969

Finding a clean 440 mm moustache bar with a 25.4 mm clamp that hasn't been tweaked or pitted is a genuine find. Pulled from old French workshop stock, this aluminium example is straight, free of oxidation, and carries only the light superficial marks of long-term storage.

What Makes This Bar Worth Adding to Your Build

• 25.4 mm clamp – drops into the vast majority of classic quill stems without shims.
• 440 mm width – the sweet spot for a touring bike, balancing stability and bar-end clearance.
• Aluminium construction – light enough for spirited riding, stiff enough to give direct steering.
• No rust, no bends – ready to use as-is.
• French provenance – exactly the kind of part that belongs on a period-correct European build.
