Handlebars clearout!
**Stratalite South of Frances bars with GB Spearpoint stem and Modolo flash levers
**Both a little bit less than perfect in the finish -- bit of fouling from the classic zigzag brake lever removal method (sans lubricant clearly). Nothing too hideous -- fortunately covered by this fab bar tape which I'd rather leave on despite being a relatively shitty job. Can supply some black cloth tape (and maybe blue if I can find it). If you're very curious/wary I'll take it off (effort etc.) -- picture shows the naked bars, just a bit lo-res. Comes with a ~70mm GB Spearpoint stem -- despite loving it, I have nothing to put it on. Both 25.4mm

Porteur bars
Never got around to using them -- they're not my thing. A few scrapes here and there, most of which could be gone with a bit of polishing. Little bit of a rub at the brake lever clamp area and scoring from grip removal. Caliper reads 25mm -- probably fine on a 25.4 stem with a shim. Just be careful etc.

26mm Cinelli Campione del Mondo drop bars
Not much use to me -- drop is too radical for my burger eating ass (not eaten a burger in months, but that's besides the point). Little bit dirty from having had ancient cloth tape on it -- should be a quick cleanup. Haven't had time to do it myself.

26mm Nitto Moustache Bars
Little bit of fouling on left side of clamp area -- I apologise for being a pleb. Quite minor though and other than that, very good condition. Some tape residue. Would love to use these but I don't have any short 26mm stems and it feels a bit too far in front on my current rides.

26mm TTT Super Leggero
Seems to be relatively rare (NONE ON EBAY -- CALL THE COPS!!). Can throw in a TTT 26mm stem missing the expander bolt/wedge. Let me know.

Normally based in Newcastle upon Tyne, but I'm heading to London tomorrow -- can meet at Victoria/Hounslow/Whitton or some tube stop along there.
