Handlebar racing 390-22 mm vintage bike Eroica R213

The 390-22 mm measurement pair is what defines this bar. The 390 mm figure refers to the width, and 22 mm is the clamp diameter — the first number you need when checking whether it will fit a classic stem and a narrow-shouldered road setup.

Why this width and clamp matter

A 390 mm width puts the hands in a compact, shoulders-squared position. It is a common choice on older road bikes where riders wanted a tighter front profile. The 22 mm clamp fits corresponding stems; period cockpit components often mixed 22 mm and 25 mm at the bar-stem interface, so checking the fork and stem dimensions before committing is essential. The photos form part of the written condition record and should be read together with this text.

Condition and provenance

This is a used bar. Minor cosmetic marks or light storage-related wear may be present. Read the photo set carefully as those visuals complete the condition description. No significant defect is declared beyond what the images show.

For builders assembling a full period cockpit, a compatible 390 mm handlebar with 25.5 mm clamp offers a near-identical width in a different clamp diameter. If you are also sourcing drivetrain or lighting, the chains category groups compatible vintage drivetrain parts for a complete restoration.
