Part 101: Nitto Handle in 1989




Part 101 is the catalog of Nitto Handle in 1989. Present company name is Nitto Co., Ltd. However, old company name in those days was Nitto Handle Sesakusho. The company is small;however, Nitto has been doing their best as a specialized maker which focus on handlebar and stem.
A number of veteran cyclists must have used Universiade 105 or Mod 55 or Pearl stem. Nitto also produces seatpost, several kinds of rack, and bottle cage with good reputation.

This time, I scanned all pages of the catalog of 28 years ago, post them.

Present URL of official website is below.
