What handlebars?
 
I have a Univega Ultraleggera that is full Dura Ace, with the exception of a Cinelli stem and some no name h'bars. I am going to buy a Dura Ace hidden bolt stem, and as such, I would like to get some bars to go with my new stem. What bars should I buy? The bike has 8speed brifters, so I need some grooved bars.

Basically, I would like to know what bars would be "appropriate" to go with the rest of the bike. Can you help me?

This is the stem in question. It is a 26.

I have that stem on my Fuji track bike (I commute on it), one issue I've noticed is when I climb hills there is slight creaking in the stem. I tightened the clamp bolt, but I don't want to over tighten it. I would grease the stem bolt but don't have access to it! If I back it out of the stem to grease it, will I be able to get it back in place? I'm just going to get used to the creak I think...

I'd go for NItto bars, since they're the ones who made the stem for Shimano.

Can use brifters without getting grooved bars, and IMHO, it looks and performs fine.

whatever you find the most comfortable.

Nitto B115.
Suitable to the group, the stem, and the use of the bike.

Various Cinelli bars are cool as well, just depends on your riding position.

I have two of these stems, and they do creak a bit. Also have had issues with tightening, but just stick with it.

You'll dial her in and she'll be fine.

Here's a pic.

Some of those stems (like this one) are 26.4...maybe measure it up if you haven't done so?
