Cheers,

I'm a newb in this thing I admit, and look at your bicycles and notice all those different handlebars.
Is there a certain rule/trend/type of handlebars, I notice some are bigger, for what type of bicycles are which intended - touring, racing, climbs, training, etc etc...

This handlebar I have on my bicycle:

sorry i did not found any other source besides ebay...


If anyone can point me in the direction of 70s and 80s handlebars and what are the good/bad sides of some of them, which are considered top products at that time, ergonomically, etc etc...

Also I read some articles about handlebar width and it's mostly for new bicycles, how for starting point the handlebar width should be the same as the width of the shoulders and depending on the driver, some prefer narrower or wider due breathing and such. Do these "unwritten rules" apply for C&V road bikes too? How should the handlebar be mounted? With the lower part of the horn (drops?) parallel with the top tube or?

Thanks for your replies and patience!
