I got some 30 years back,1" Asian Randonneur bend , but yea drop bars have gone to 26, in the better brands.

Nitto offers their Mustache bar 25.4 center, but 23.8 tube for road levers.. bar end shifters

Compacts became a follow on from Brifters , they had to be longer to get all that shifter stuff in them.



Bickering over minutiae, its what gets done here.. you should be working now... , right?
