Light retro bars
Posted: Sun Sep 16, 2018 4:35 pm
Hi All
I'm after some advice on a good retro bar for my late 90's steel Bianchi, I'm struggling to find the right thing as most good options are 26.0 (see below)
Here's what I'm after, if anyone has flashes of inspiration that would be greatly appreciated
- Pretty sure I need 25.4mm even though the 3TTT Mutant stem (link below) was supposedly 25.8-26.0; the 25.4 bar on it at the moment is a perfect fit so I'm guessing my stem is smaller. Because it's a two-bolt stem with separate face plate it may be able to deal with 26.0mm bars but I'm not sure, any thoughts?
- Open to classic or modern bends but a bit more compact would be good, the current one has about 140mm reach and 170mm drop
- Narrow is good, 40cm C-C ideal but it's not a deal breaker
- Silver
- Light is obviously desirable
- Prefer something Italian to keep it matched but once again not a show stopper
thanks in advance
