I was putting my Raleigh Lenton Gran Prix together for a nice classic rider and was going to put a GB bar and stem on the bike. I was looking at Dale's page later in the day and saw my bars <http://www.cyclesdeoro.com/GB_bars_1.htm>. Dale's page says, "The most sought after GB bar variation?", what is this bar? should it be used as barter fodder and not put on a "rider"? What should I do?
While on the subject of bars do you folks on the list use old bars on your riders? I was thinking of aluminum fatigue and bar breakage on bars 10+ years old and was thinking many of us are riding arould on "unsafe" bars. When I'm at work I recommend people replace their bars every 3-5 years but most of these people put 20000+ miles on these a year, I know some of you on the list put these many miles on your "classic" bikes. So I want to know what you do about bars? NOS, used, modern?
