• FS: 42cm flared aluminium handlebars

  in Components and clothing • 1 year, 3 months

  

  I'm looking to sell the handlebars that came stock on my bike. They're these from PlanetX/Selcof.

  I rode <1000km on them and haven't crashed or even so much as dropped the bike in that time so they're in great nick - they're just way too wide for me. I've no idea who thought 42cm bars are appropriate on a XS frame!

  I'm only looking to recoup some of the cost of my replacement bars so £20 posted (or £15 picked up in Cardiff/Newport/Bristol) seems more than fair considering the as-new condition (aside from a little tape residue).

  Specs from the product page:

  • Drop: 125mm
    
  • Reach: 75mm
    
  • Flare: 8 degree
    
  • Back extension on flats: 30mm
    
  • 42cm width (and 48cm width at the widest point at the end of the drops by my measurement)
    
    

  Aside from the flare, the geometry feels like a standard compact drop bar with moderate reach and a nice shallow drop.

  Damn, that’s a sexy bike. I’m looking more for a beater for maximum utility and it’s way too big for me anyways, but I’d be really tempted if I was in the market for something like this.

  GLWS!

  Hey there, is this still available? I’d be interested if you could drop the price a little more to £250.

  Can you confirm that it’s a XS? The size chart on the genesis site claims that a XS is intended for 159-164cm riders so this may be a small if it fits you at 172cm. I’m 162cm/5’4” so a XS would be perfect but a small would be a little too big for my tastes as I prefer a smaller and nimbler frame.
