Wanted: 1950's / 60's Period deep drop bars

Posted on
  • I'm looking for some period track bars to finish off a 1958 Hetchins. Some nice curley deep drops ideally.

  • Thanks Dogs I'll keep an eye on them. Probably be in the hundreds though I think

  • well, period and hetchins, aren't a cheap proposition either!

  • Your not wrong there. It's a long running project and I just need the bars to finish off. Took a stoned test ride round the park the other night and it felt like the best ride ever. It's got criteriums on it at the mo.

  • I have some GB bars and stem, no sure if there are track, tho. PM if interested.

  • I have a pair of Lauterwasser bars.

  • Great. This is what I'm after. Saw some on ebay the other day. Whats the condition and how much? Are these them?

  • Very good condition with some scratches on the chrome.

    I'll post an actual photo later.

    I have no idea yet what they're worth.

  • The pair that I saw on ebay last week went for £56. They were newly anodised in black. I could justify £40 I think. As long as I dont tell the other half

  • should've bid on the titan bars/stem above only £58

  • The wassers are a better fit I reckon. If I get them I'll post a pic so you can see.

    Small scratches on the top.

    Thought they might be worth more since a clean pair of Cinelli Pistas go for £40ish

    I'll pm you and we'll chat.

  • The Lauterwasser is fucking amazing, I wish they actually build them (Are you listening Nitto?)

    th only other classic style handlebar that are still made is the Charge one, which doesn´t look that great.

  • A tad deeper (and clearly nowhere near as sexy as those Lauterwassers), but I always had a soft spot for the Walker bar by Soma.

    … Not that I've seen one in person, mind.

    D. you never cease to amaze me with the sheer number and quality of your classic parts. I'd love to see inside your cave!

    Oo-er missus ;)
