I agree wholeheartedly with Monkeyman that this is the bike. Much more interesting to me than the Confente everyone was so hot and bothered about. Handlebars are great. I have a similar set on my 36 Raleigh Golden Arrow. Anyone have a set they're not interested in? Interesting to see what this goes for. I have a belief that pre1940 bikes are still a great bargain compared to many later higher end road bikes. A lot of history on those two wheels.
