I have maintained thousands of bottom brackets in my life. It is not something I care to maintain on my vintage bikes anymore. It is hard enough to find a decent quality French or even Italian threaded bottom bracket that isn't being sold for a premium price. And again, that I would have to regularly maintain. The French and Italian sealed bearing BBs from VO are a godsend. They are good quality and spin maintenance free forever. Most of my bikes are riders, not show bikes. The VO BBs are the way to go every time. I see some reviews complaining about the JIS taper or the limitation of the available spindle lengths. If you have a very finicky chainline you are trying to maintain (ie. Simplex) or are dealing with a pre-70s Stronglight crankset, admittedly you should probably not be looking here. But if you signed up for dealing with Frenchy parts and bicycles, then you should already be aware of what you are getting into.

Cyclists of the world unite, you have nothing to gain but new chains!

This is simply perfect. I have in my two 20"wheel minivelos: a Neutrino and a vintage Cannondale Hooligan. I can't recommend enough, very capable, it isn't definively for kid's bike.

These bars changed the nature of my wife’s touring bike (All City Space Horse) — along with the bars, we installed friction shifters, leather grips to match her Brooks saddle, and new break levers. She has better stopping power and a more upright position in the cockpit. Thanks Velo Orange for helping us make a great bike even better!

Put it on our ebike and works great!!

Very nice look and feel. Good to work with and easy to apply

These are just amazing. The quality of the manufacturing, the material, the look and feel. Another killer from Velo Orange

Great product. Works perfectly for my Zaskar!

Beautiful and lightweight brake lever. Can’t wait to put it into the build!

This hardware set has been holding up a basic front rack on my cruiser for a couple weeks now. I applied a glob of blue thread-locker to both ends of the posts and it's been holding steady even while klunking around my local woodland trails. I was able to get the initial torque set with a socket but for regular upkeep I'd reckon you could cinch these up with a cone wrench without having to take off the rack and everything.

I was looking for a raiser bar in the 30-40-degree range and the Seine bars fit the bill perfectly.

Found an old Bianchi Grizzly and wanted a little more upright riding posture, this feels so good.

Installed pretty easily and seems really stable!

Love this rack. Exceptionally well built and looks great on my bike. This rack will last me as long as I am around. Fast easy attachment to the bike. Using it with an Acorn bag for bike packing. You will notice the quality of this rack immediately.

These spaced well. Well use these again; the next time I am needing to space out.
