Deda Speciale 26 Handlebar

Deda’s Speciale 26 Handlebar is a steering element for the traditionalists. The name comes from the handlebar clamp diameter, 26mm. The bars go full classic. This very much harkens back to a Cinelli 64 bend aka the Giro d’Italia model, with a reach of 80mm and drop of 135mm, and a graceful, round bend. FWIW, the 64 had a drop of 138mm. It was a shallow drop for its day, and if you’re restoring a bike for L’Eroica, this will do the job beautifully. The bar is fabricated out of 6061 aluminum alloy. There are three widths available, 42, 44, and 46cm measured outside-to-outside. The weight for the 42 is 320g. There are two finishes available, matte or polished Silver.
