Jerry,

You are absolutely correct with respect to 3ttt handlebars being made exclusively with a 26 mm center section, at least for their standard retail offerings from 1966 through 1978 (...and I suspect beyond that date range) based upon the literature that I have at hand.

Robert "any size you want, so long as it's 26 mm" Broderick ...the "Frozen Flatlands" of South Dakota
