So I've put my latest project together, and went for the first test ride.
The handlebars slipped/rotated, odd, I thought, I'm sure I tightened those.
Sure enough the raised centre part of the bars, with the nice engraved GB logos is clamped firm and tight. The rest of the bars can rotate through this.
Boody wierd. These are from ebay, 60's GB randonneur bars in otherwise good condition. Has any one else ever suffered this?
I guess I'm going to have to drill them, tap them and put a bolt in, unless this is some 'feature' of old rando' bars that no one ever told be about.
