Free Handlebars/stem

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post. Mods, please move if it is.

I have a couple of handlebars that I'm looking to get rid of since I'm moving. Not looking for anything other than reimbursement of shipping costs.

1) 1" handlebar and matching quill stem from an older Via Carisma. Has the 21 speed STI shifters/brakes still attached.

2) 1" clamp, 40cm wide road bars from an old Schwinn. Bought these for $10 from a local shop and cleaned them up all shiny, but for some reason my right brifter was having a hard time clamping down on it. I think these bars might have been slightly bent at sometime, but they're still in great shape.

Yeah, they are. They were all rusted up when I got them, but I cleaned them up with aluminum foil and some vinegar, and they look pretty good. I was disappointed that I couldn't use them and had to order a new set. They were a little too narrow for me anyway. Interested?

i bought a schwinn once to flip. when i noticed it had steel bars, those were the first to go -- right in the trash. the new owner was much appreciative.

but maybe they have other uses. hand rail in an elderly person's bath? or a hat rack?
