The old GB bars were made from 2024 T4 material and cold drawn. They were bent in a ball mandrel bender.
Now that is good to know! I am curious as to how you obtained this information. Were 42cm GB's (Maes) even made? What do you think about bonding?
Way back, if one was looking for 42 cm wide bars with a hope of obtaining them, it was Cinelli.
3ttt did make some wide bars.
Ambrosio did too, but inventory was scant.
There was a time where 40 cm ctc bars were considered wide.
Never saw GB Maes bend bars beyond 40 cm, and most were under.
