Black finish drop bar
Can someone point me in the direction of a non-anatomic aluminum drop bar finished in black? I've done a bit of looking but can't find one with a normal curve.

It can be found in 25.8 which will work with 26.0 from everything I have heard.

They are not that rare. Most bar manufacturers have made a black anodized version at one time or another during the non-ergo bend eras. I have a "normal bend", black anodized bars made by ITM (Italmanubri) on my 84 Peugeot that I bought back in the mid 80's to replace the silver OEM that came with the bike. I'm sure I had encountered black anodized bars from TTT and Cinelli too. Wouldn't be surprised if the Japanese makers had their version too. Just do a search in eBay on "Black anodized handlebars" and a few choices should pop up for you. Modolos made lots of black anodized bars, but they are almost all ergo bend, as they were the pioneers on it.

Last two black standard drop bars I bought were Nashbar, and Profile. Both are 26mm.
