I need some black handlebars and these looked like a good deal: http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/details.asp?D=P&Cat=HANDLEBARS&Section=HBAR&GenCode=DEDAHBAR0550 . Is it just the size that makes them female specific?

It doesn't say what diameter they are? Any ideas?

They're not as wide as normal bars. That's to accomodate narrow shoulders.

Technical data:
Handlebar O.D.: 26,0 mm, center section Shape: Deda anatomic lady Width: 38 cm outside-to-outside Weight: 259 grams

26mm diameter also.

They're designed for small hands so the drop is shallower and the anatomic bit is smaller.

38cm outside-to-outside is /tiny/. That's for little girls to put on My Little Pony bikes.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
