$100 won't buy you ____ these days.
That's right. In about 1992 I bought my Cinelli bars and stem for $110!! I still use them on one one my bikes.

I saw some non-anatomical ITM Pro 260s for about $140, which is about the absolute maximum I would spend on a short tube of aluminium.

Why is it that a good percentage of pros use non-anatomical bars, but you can hardly find any in the shops?

I'm still envious of that EOS 7,815,154 that you got for a song. I've probably seen you "cuttin' it up" on Beach Road with all the other Beach Road Bullies.
