handlebars are a very personal choice, ask 10 people and you will get 10 answers.

Thank you.

I would like to first try some Bullhorns, then do risers. I guess my mentality is it would be nice to have the stock drops, bullhorns, and risers to choose from. Maybe I'm crazy. :innocent:

26.4mm is old cinelli. My 03' Pista is 26.0mm. I run ritchey pro handlebars and really like them.

I just saw most Ritchey's are 31.8mm. How would that fit a 26mm clamp?

31.8 bars will not fit into a 26mm clamp stem.
you can do viseversa. 26mm bars in a 31.8 clamp but using shims
