What make/model randonneur handlebars
I pulled the randonneur drop bars off a 80's Raleigh frame. They're Al with the only identifying mark saying "british" at the end. I rather like them and would like to source another if I could figure out the make/model. Help?

What are the dimensions? Chances are there are some bars on the market that match or get close to what you have. Google “measure drop handlebars” for some tips on how to get the dimensions you need. Maybe Nitto B135 bars might be what you want. Other makers have randonneur bars as well, like Compass and Soma.

GB? Does the stem say "GB?"

If there is a "GB" as the other posters above have suggested, a great source for additional bars would be from old Schwinn Continentals, Super Sports, and Sports Tourers. They used the "Schwinn Approved" version. BTW, my favorite set of bars.

Rock on! Unwrapped the bars and found a very faint outline. Looks like they are GB bars. Gonna have to scour for some Schwins, lol.
