FS: Philippe Tour de France (D357) Drop Bars
I bought these highly polished beauties as NOS many years ago. Then, I gently clamped them down (not noticeable on the bars), mounted one brake lever (visible bar scuffs), then decided to go a different route for the build. During that time, I managed to somehow generate a little underside wear (see image with pen pointing to scuffing). Other than that, these bars are gorgeous and never fully mounted, nor ever ridden.
Width (ctc) - 40 cm
Clamp Size - 25.4 mm
Drop (ctc) - 155 mm
Reach (ctc) - 100 mm
Price: $ SOLD $
=======================================================
PayPal (F&F free or 4% paid by buyer), Venmo or Zelle accepted.

Do these bars have any flare at the drops or are they "square" and non-flared like a Cinelli 66?
I want "square" bars for my Grand Record project but I'm loathe to sand down one of my 1A stems, at least until I get the fit perfect. Factory stem is 25.4/22.0 (!) I love the French!
thank you!

C9H13N - I hesitate to say anything that could be looked at as opinion as what square is or not. That really is up to personal preference. I can tell you that these are classic, French bars with a very traditional shape.
Have you looked at the image link? I took a shot from the side but it may not be what your looking for. Luckily, there are plenty of other images out there of these bars and likely even more opinions if you'd like to engage our community.

For example a 40cm bar would measure 40cm ctc at the hoods and the same 40cm ctc at the drops.
sorry if my first description was confusing!
I'm at work and i'll try to take a picture later that might explain better
thank you

Hope I'm first in line for these! They'll go on a Peugeot uo8 I'm restoring for my 65th birthday.

Welcome to Bike Forums! You'll find a lot of good info on your UO8.
As for the bars, I've sent you a private message. If you aren't able to view it for whatever reason, let me know and I can put my email address here in the thread.
