Since we're starting to make French style city bikes we needed a proper French handlebar. And what could be better than a Nitto Promenade bar from, well, Japan. This is a copy of the bar seen on countless continental city bikes and not a few porteurs. Requires a 25.4mm stem or a Nitto shim with a 26mm stem. These use MTB sized brake levers and do not accept bar end shifters or inverse brake levers. Width is 48cm (C-C) NPM$38.00 All images and text copyright Velo Orange, LLC 2006, 2007, 2008.
