Tech/Engineering - Other / bicycle manufacture / assembly
German term or phrase: Lenkerrohr
It's a bicycle part. I only have 1 page of what seems to be instructions for assembly of a bicycle. "um der Fahrradhalterung für den Navigator optimalen Halt auch an schmalen Lenkerrohren zu geben".. Is this the frame of the bike?

agree  jccantrell: In the USA, it would be 'handlebars', plural and one word
1 min
  -> Yes, in the sentence...

agree  writeaway: it is in one word in English and the German is Lenkrohr I think
4 mins
  -> Yes, you are both right - I found 5 times as many hits for "handlebar" as for "handle bar". I thought the German word was "Lenker".

agree  Christine Lam: handlebar, Lenkstange in German
26 mins
  -> Thanks Christine.

agree  Kevin Pfeiffer (X): Sheldon Brown (good ref.) (http://www.sheldonbrown.com/gloss_h.html) uses "handlebar". One could say "narrow-diameter handlebar tube", but "narrow-diameter handlebar" is less confusing, I think.

agree  Derek Gill Franßen: Awesome answer - very specific, perhaps too specific for the audience? I can't tell.

disagree  Kevin Pfeiffer (X): I have seen references to the "steering tube" which is what you have, but the only thing that would be attached to it (oder?) is the head badge (Markenschild).
