Vintage Steel Moustache Handlebars for Town Bike 480mm - 25.3mm Eroica

A 480 mm steel bar cut for upright town bike positioning. The moustache bend drops shallow from the center clamp area, then sweeps back toward the rider. The 25.3 mm stem interface pins this to French cockpit standards of the period. Acier construction throughout, with French origin recorded in the product data.

Bar width and clamp fitment

The published width is 480 mm and the published clamp diameter is 25.3 mm. Check both against your stem and your preferred shoulder width before ordering. A mismatch on the clamp is a hard incompatibility — this is not a 25.4 mm bar.

Sitting this bar in a restoration

This profile works with town bike frames and upright city builds. The 480 mm width gives a manageable lever position without going to drop-bar depth. For period-correct French cockpits, the 25.3 mm interface matters — many older stems used this size and later 25.4 mm clamps will not close correctly. If you are assembling a full French group, check the front derailleur and shifter clamp options in the Derailleurs section.

For riders comparing similar-width moustache bars, the Philippe Vintage Road Bike Handlebars sit one step narrower at 410 mm, while the Steel MTB Handlebars 25.4-600mm push wider for a completely different stance.
