I'm guessing the bars I have are 26.4 as the bike they are currently on is from the mid-90's, thanks for the info.
As an aside, I have a Bianchi pantographed 3T stem that I had milled out to fit a Cinelli bar back in the 80's which are sitting in a spare parts box in the basement. Who would have known that stem in it's original state is probably a desirable part for a vintage cycling group 30 years later. :-)
