Thanks, once I get it all setup, it'll be my main ride and I'll have to cull the herd.

The bars are old SR (Sakae Ringyo) Road Champion bars that came on nearly all 80's vintage road bikes. They're 390mm c-c and weigh 340gr but I'm so used to the width and bend that I have a hard time riding anything else. I have them on all my bikes plus a couple extras in case I need to replace one.
I'd be willing to try the Deda Newton Shallow Drop in size 40 if anyone carried them. I don't think the distributor even has them.

It's all about the wheels :D A set of deep profile wheels will add bling to any bike.

The Ritchey WCS Classic drops are a lot like those bars but they're hard to find in the 40cm width.

Are you telling me "It's not about the bike"? Hee hee. Yeah. Those are some booming wheels you got there. *nods head*
My wheels are plain but they are special since my nephew built mine for me. :)

Oh wow ... that's so sexy ... when I see a blue streak scream by, I'll know it's you Henry.
Blast, depending on the drop you're after, these Eastons (http://www.performancebike.com/shop/Profile.cfm?SKU=23993&item=50-6892&slitrk=search&slisearch=true) might work for ya, too:

There's much faster guys we have on here. I just like a fast looking bike :)
You guys ride much more than me at this point. I'm doing too much running, but only for a couple more weeks.

When I ordered the ControlTech Formidable bars, I was debating them and the Eastons. I should have ordered both and just returned the one I didn't like. Now I'm going to have to wait, again.
The EA70 Pros (as opposed to Ergo) can be tough to find too, because Easton might have stopped making them. 'Don't know where PB dug these up from, but, they're a good deal if they happen to fit. It almost sounds like you're a Cinelli 64 kind of hbar guy?

Thanks.
I have a black one that I haven't returned yet. You're welcome to try it.
2007 Selle Italia Flite Gel Flow. The Ti316 rails are oval 7mm wide by 9mm tall so you'll need a seatpost clamp that can accomodate that (the U.S.E. post needed a new updated clamp).
