Wanted: 44cm T7075 alloy handlbars

MojoMaker

Any brand considered - will mate up to a 3T stem, so ideally 3T, but not fussed on absolutely matching. More important to get the size right for me. Must be 44cm outside to outside at the hoods and the drops. In some brands that is 42cm c-c but I know it can vary a bit.

Have Deda Zero100 bars elsewhere, would be brilliant again, but can't find any deals going. This is just for a commuter so don't want to spend €70 to order new.

Separately, can't find conclusive proof one way or the other - are 3T bars (e.g. Ergosum, Ergonova) measured centre-centre or outside-outside?

Where are you based? I have a set of 44's that I am selling on adverts. Nothing special. Taken off a new Ribble, never used. Be happy with €20 as they are just hanging in my way since. I am in Cork.

Dubland here, so probably wouldn't work, but thanks denbatt.

I'm after a strong and stiff bar. 6062 alu is not stiff enough for my liking, Unfortunately all the cheap bars seem to be 6061 grade.

something around 250g, with a 440mm measurement outside to outside (420mm c/c) at the hoods would be perfect.

I've a set of Cannondale C2 bars that I got unexpectedly when I bought my current frame. No use at all to me.

Seemingly made out of 2014 Alu (which seems similar to 7075 from my googling) 440mm outside to outside. 290g according to specs online but I can throw them on my scales here if you want.

It looks brand new to me! €20 if you're interested!

Worth a look I reckon Deano, thanks...

Compact or traditional bend? Looking for quite shallow bars (< 130mm) and a shortish (< 80mm) reach.

I have a set of giant bars, pretty sure they are these, https://www.giant-bicycles.com/ie/giant-contact-sl-drop-handlebar but I'll double check when I get home. Perfect condition, came on a bike I bought but too wide for me. Size 42 and seemed to be centre to centre measured. May work for you.

140mm drop and 85mm reach according to the google machine!

Can measure them myself when I’m back home tomorrow!

Cheers Deano. I think there are two flavours of the C2 bar - traditional and compact, let me know which yours are.
