Ok, I have the Nitto track bars, and now I am trying to get a stem that will accomodate the 25.4mm clamp diameter.. I think the Nitto track stems are a little too aggressive of an angle, so I am looking for a Nitto Pearl......... Anyone know I good place to buy these??

Try the retro boys at Rivendell. They are very helpful and carry lots of Nitto stuff.

Yeah I'm not sure why these bars are like this instead of just being 26 or whatever.. I like them though so.... I thought about trying to find something different or making it work with some other stem but as far as the overall look of the bike and whatnot it will be the best just to get the Nitto stem to match. The bargain hunter in me was hoping I could find one somewhere for under 50 bucks but I guess it's not a big deal to spend like $60 or whatever..

Nitto does sell shims to take up the space between a 25.4 bar and a 26 stem. The cost around $10. I think Rivendell sell them.

Just noticed you are in Chicago. Try going to Rapid Transit Bicycle Shop, they had the nitto spacers in stock last fall. Ask for Ezra and tell him Mark Williams referred you, he will give you good service. 1900 W North Ave 1.773.227.2288

Damnit!!!! There was a Nitto Jaguar steel track stem (the one that is like $150) still in the package on eBay going for about $40. I was going to get it and then the guy cancelled the auction. Gah!!
