The defining figure on this BF 400 is the 25 mm clamp area. That single measurement narrows the search to a specific generation of stems, making the hunt for compatibility straightforward. For an Eroica-eligible assembly, matching the bar and stem correctly avoids the frustration of a mismatched cockpit.
The BF 400 suits machines built for rides where authentic detailing matters. Drop bars from this period often reward a careful check of the sleeve for scoring before clamping. A quick pass with a caliper confirms the 25 mm area is round and clean, which helps the stem clamp evenly.
For related cockpit parts, the AVA 400-25.4 mm handlebar shows the near-sibling sizing that can cause confusion if not measured. If your build needs larger frame clearance, pairing this bar with a COLUMBUS AELLE frame keeps the front end period-correct.
The reference R196 identifies the specific shelf location for this used part. Photographs form part of the purchase record: the exact finish, any scuffs from storage, and the overall shape are visible in the listing shots. Minor cosmetic wear is typical for a component of this age; no structural damage is noted in the record.
The clamp area is 25 mm in diameter. This is the measurement that should be matched to the stem’s inner diameter.
The BF 400 is listed as an Eroica handlebar. Its period-correct profile and 25 mm clamp suit historical road bike builds.
Yes. The photographs are part of the description and show the used condition, surface finish, and general shape of the handlebar.
R196 is the product’s location code. It identifies the specific inventory position and appears only in the title, not in the description.
