Bikes: TiSport Road frame with Campagnolo Daytona/Centaur + Record/Open Pro wheels | 2002 Bianchi Volpe | 2003 Giant TCR 2 w/ Sun ME14A rims/Ultegra 6500 hubs/ Bianchi SL Centaur (currently being refurbished)

Knowing something of their frames, given that it's 631, it could be the Smoothie ES (for caliper brakes) or the Double Cross for cantis? I'm very interested in them as I am a cheapskate and love nice framesets. Personally I don't know of any steel handlebars that are still made, but there's no reason that a thin walled, butted steel handlebar can't be a serious contender. Though I also think that the "shock absorbing" qualities of steel vs. other frame materials are oversold, I do think the idea of a steel handlebar utilizing some contemporary technology is a very interesting idea, tell us if you find one.
