Handlebars
three main types of handlebar used on Twenties
1.) One-piece "All-rounder" bars.
2.) Two-piece "All-rounder" bars.
3.) Two-piece "North-Road" bars.

All production handlebars were held on by a clamp around the top of the forks, and the stems do not have binder bolts.

Please note: The stem has a height-limiter in the form of a loop of stiff wire which runs around the front brake bolt. To remove the handlebar and stem from the frame, you must first remove the front brake.
