This bar and stem are off my Bruce Gordon and I have no reason to believe they are not original.
The bar came to me with an indent or impression from the stem being tightened.
It all holds OK when I’m on relaxing solo rides but on a group ride which will be a more aggressive ride the bar slips—out of saddle or hard braking. Pretty unsettling.
Opinions please on whether the bar is definitely toast or are there tricks to keep it in place?
Also included pics of the inside of the stem to see if anyone thinks it is toast too?
