Can anyone ID these bars? W or M logo in a wreath.

Jonny69 · Jul 25, 2016

I was wondering if anyone recognised the make or model of these drop bars. The logo is either a W or M inside a wreath, depending whether you look at it from front or back, on the top of both sides of the bars. The bars are bare alloy, not anodised, 25.4mm centre, 40cm wide and have quite a lot of forward reach. Quite straight tops and no cable grooves. I don't know what bike they originally came off.

Modolo?

Is there anything on the other side?

Nothing on the underside. The Modolo logo is much more stylistic script than this.

Matchless Cycles had a similar letter M in a laurel wreath pre war but these bars look too young for that marque.......possibly Milremo?

Aha! Internet points to andy156. They are Motobecane!

More specifically, probably late 70s Philippe handlebars stamped Motobecane.

Well done #RetrobikeInspektors!

I had those bars on my Motobecane Grand Record I got new in 1981.

Re:

Only just seen this thread, yep Motobecane logo, this was the last incarnation of the logo and IIRC was introduced in 1976
