Road bike handlebar 400-24.4 vintage bike eroica R271

A Drop Bar Defined by Two Measurements

This road bike handlebar carries a 400 mm width across the drops and a 24.4 mm central clamping area. Those two numbers decide stem compatibility and overall reach, so check them against your existing setup before anything else.

The bar is part of a used vintage inventory. That means the piece has already lived on another bicycle and may carry small cosmetic traces from storage or prior use — faint scratches or slight wear that do not affect function. For any serious defect, the text below states it directly. The photos are part of the description and show the actual condition of this unit.

What This Fits

A 24.4 mm clamp diameter matches older French and European stems. The 400 mm width sits in the classic range for road riding positions of that era. If you are working on an Eroica-eligible machine, the dimensions align with what many period groupsets and cockpit setups used.

For another width option, the AVA racing handlebar in 380 mm is narrower across the drops. If you prefer a wider bar, the 620 mm vintage handlebar uses a 25.2 mm clamp. Both are period pieces from the same inventory.

Condition Notes

Used vintage parts may carry light surface wear from years of storage or occasional use. If this particular bar has any major defect — rust, a crack, a bend — it will be named here explicitly. No such note means the piece is structurally sound for a classic build and only minor cosmetic traces are possible.
