Anyone ever heard of CTA handlebars?
I have a 87 Peugeot. The stem is CTA and the drop bars also say CTA and have engraved Lions on them. What is the history of CTA? Did CTA ever make any North Road type bars? Thanks.

I have the same bar as the OP. It's very nice although the engraving is quite shallow. I could find almost no info on CTA.

Anyone recognize these bars?
Hello all,
I come late on this subject, my grand-father did some of these "bars" for "CTA" in la Bonneville sur Iton in France (Normandy - you can see the heraldic of Normandy with William the Conqueror leopard).
CTA means "Cintrage de tube dans ses applications". That was a small brand and handcrafted some armbars mostly for Peugeot.
Excuse my english, note my mother tongue.
