Handlebar classic vintage bike 390-24,6 Randonneur R477

The R477 is a used classic touring bike handlebar, measured at 390 mm across with a 24.6 mm clamp area. The location code is part of the title only, not the product data. The images displayed here are an essential part of the published condition information.

What This Handlebar Offers a Vintage Build

This is a drop-bar profile suited to a classic touring bicycle setup. It is not a modern racing bend: the proportions put the rider in a position intended for long, steady days on the road. The 24.6 mm clamp diameter matters at the stem interface, so you will need a quill stem with the matching internal dimension before you proceed.

Because this part is a used item, the only way to reliably judge its finish, wear, and any marks left by previous installation is through the product photography. Read those images closely. Evaluate the bar surface, the clamp zone, and the ends. Those visual details are part of this product’s description and should be treated as the final word on condition.

Restoring a Touring Machine

For anyone putting together a period-correct randonneur or Eroica-eligible bicycle, the bar is one of the most visible cockpit choices you will make. An authentic old touring bar carries a different line than a modern reproduction, and the patina of a used component often fits the build better than a new part would. The key check is always the clamp measurement, then the overall width, then the drop shape relative to your other period components.

If you are working through the rest of the drivetrain at the same time, compare this bar’s stance against the frameset you have chosen. The RALEIGH Reynolds 531 Touring Frameset is one possible match for a bike built around this kind of bar width and touring posture.

Looking for an alternative bar from the same inventory? The PHILLIPE 410-25 touring bar offers a slightly wider 410 mm option with a 25 mm clamp, and may be worth comparing against your frame's stem selection.
