Dean Titanium Identification

vibe9292 · May 11, 2017

Hi guys, I've just gotten a Dean titanium bike from eBay with most parts Dean, question now is whether this is an original Dean or not, even if yes, which manufacturing year will it be. According to the seller, what he can read from the bottom bracket was stamped P180**. So is this an authentic Dean? All inputs will be very much appreciated. TIA!

Best regards,
Roger

Good Q about Dean. Im not an expert on them either and was after an ex wide Ti straight handlebar to fit bar ends >= 610mm uncut. When I Googled it seems Dean Ti bars were only 560mm uncut as std ( source - Pros Closet )

Seems theres increasing interest in early Dean Ti stuff lately, so any experts should chime in. Looks like i have found some nice 610mm Ti bars now :mrgreen:

I have what I am sure is an original DEAN ti bar, as when I got it, it still had original (faded/patina'd) decals. The bar is 610mm.

I know that Wadsy

Thats why i was curious if 'Dean Ti' bar was even wider than that or even if other brands were wider than that, as it suits me. I saw a really wide one on Martin Ks main ride. Im not a young skinny flat belly anymore. I tried my old cut dien narrow Hyperlite bar on a 155mm flat stem a few years and nearly did myself a mischief !
