G.B. or Gerry Burgess is a good brand. English. The shape of those bars is one of the most comfortable bars you will find. They are hard to find for sale. The only problem I have with them is they are often too narrow for me. BT

Okay guys. This may be one of those stupid questions, but I recently acquired a vintage GB randonneur handlebar. Would this be appropriate for building up a vintage road bike or are they more appropriate for a bike with touring geometry? Since all my experience has been in racing, mostly crits, I've not researched much into this type of handlebar. Any pros or cons?
