Hi, I have a safety question regarding ITM "Special" handlebars as fitted to
my (surely)
KOF Marlboro, 1986 or thereabouts.. ("Hand made by the Holdsworthy Company"
Decal
attatched) the bars are a fairly horrible mix of materials used in their
construction, but are
a pleasing shape. You probably know them, they have a map of Italy engraved
upon the
alloy centre, this being approx 3 6/8" long, with the rest being steel, rusty
in this case.
Considering the possibilities of electrolytic corrosion between
these two metals,
are these bars safe or scrap?...I promise not to sue anyone who thinks they
are safe!
I just want to keep the bike original if possible, after all, it did cost me
3 GBP from my
local amenity tip 2 years ago!
