The two numbers that matter on this vintage handlebar are 460 mm of width and a 25.4 mm clamp area. Those dimensions determine whether it slots into your existing stem and give you the hand position you're chasing.
This is a used component, so expect the usual traces of age and previous mounting. Photos form part of the description — look carefully at the curves, the clamp area, and the bar ends. No major structural faults are noted, but minor cosmetic wear and subtle marks from long storage are normal on a part of this era.
Before you commit, measure your stem's clamp bore. If it's not 25.4 mm, this bar won't clamp safely. The 460 mm width suits a range of classic drop-bar setups, but cockpit feel is personal — some riders find this width ideal for long days in the drops, others prefer narrower for tight sprinting. For a period-correct Eroica rig or a clean French or Italian rebuild, this profile is a practical match.
If you're building out the full front end, a matching stem and brake levers from the same era complete the look. For related cockpit components, see our Handlebar PHILLIPE 410-25 vintage bike Eroica Randonneur racing R463 for a different width option, or check the Handlebar AVA 400-25.4 mm vintage bike Eroica R119 if you need a narrower 400 mm bar with the same clamp size.
Occasional micro-scratches, tiny storage marks, and light cosmetic wear are part of this bar's history. The seller has not flagged any major defects like deep pitting, cracks, or bends. If a serious issue were present, it would be stated plainly. Inspect the photos closely before purchase — they are part of the description.
The listing states a width of 460 mm and a clamp area of 25.4 mm. Those two measurements define the bar's fit and give the precise compatibility details for your stem.
Yes, the clamp area is listed as 25.4 mm, so it is designed to match a stem with that bore. Always verify your stem's internal clamp diameter before fitting.
It is a used vintage component, so expect minor cosmetic wear, micro-scratches, and light storage marks. No major defects such as cracks, deep pitting, or bends are noted in the listing.
R167 is the product location code used by the shop for inventory management. It identifies the storeroom position and is not part of the handlebar's physical specifications.
The 460 mm width and 25.4 mm clamp sizing are typical of vintage European road bikes from the era that Eroica events celebrate, making this a period-appropriate choice for those builds.
