Fit a set of WIN v bars as they look the same and are readily available for resonable money .

Ian, as my brother Simon (Hootski70) said, try for WIN bars, but the Expert (25-26" x 8") size ones come up more than the Pro (27-28" x 9") sized ones that I think Nick (Custard Lips) is after. What Simon failed to mention is that he also has a couple of these Redline framesets and he used Del as we all do for decals. Del is the daddy for new decal kits mate so use with no worries.

I've got a fluted alloy post in silver you can have mate to get you going - it's got a few scratches on it but you can polish it no problem. PM me your address and i'll post it for you. I might have a spare top nut for the headset too but i'll have to look.

Finally that is an awesome condition frameset so please don't make the costly and ghastly mistake of re-chroming it or you will regret it. Nothing suits a build better than original chrome if it's good enough.

Regards

Spen

You could just use a head-lock which would look pretty cool and enable you to keep the rest of the headset together.   :daumenhoch:

I think if you're going to do the build properly then these are the bars you need, these are Redline stamped V bars






and they're not easy to find, you can just see some stamping on the side with no brake lever on it. I don't know how similar Win bars are to these ????
One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.
