NITTO x Circles B132 Hanafuda Grand Randonneur
NITTO Randonneur Bar B132 Grand Randonneur Bar Engraved Hanafuda Model by Special Order from Circles
The NITTO B132 Grand Randonneur Bar, a classic design ideal for Randonneur bikes, is now available in "460mm" and "500mm" sizes, which are not in the regular lineup, in addition to the standard silver color, black, to better fit modern touring styles. In addition to the standard color of silver, we have also specially ordered black. The increased width of the bar provides a good "flex" to absorb vibration from the road surface and to suppress bouncing on rough roads.
The combination of the "anchor shoulder," which rises gently from the center of the bar to the left and right shoulders, and the moderate 16° widening of the bar reduces the burden on the wrists, making it ideal for touring in an upright position. The long reach and deep drop characteristic of the randonneur Bar also allows the rider to experiment with different ways of holding the handlebars during long rides to refresh the body and mind.
The deep drop is very beautifully arched, and setting the side silhouettes in a position parallel to the ground gives the entire bike a classic look. This functional design follows the beauty of the traditional form while creating a drop bar that is also appropriate for modern randonneur-style bikes with larger tires.
