Straightforward geometry for a vintage touring setup

The key figure here is 40.5 cm. That single measurement anchors most decisions about period builds. In aluminium, this handlebar offers a responsive but familiar road feel without adding unnecessary weight to a classic steel frame. The course designation indicates a drop profile suited to faster touring or club riding rather than an upright city position.
