Cinelli Model 64 Giro d'Italia. circa early seventies. These are great, but a little narrow (38cm c-c) as was typical back then. Maes bend.
Modolo Professional Anatomic. circa mid eighties. 42cm c-c. Technically not classic bend, but very comfortable for hands positioning on the straight sections.
Nitto B115 420. My favorite. Classic Maes bend, 42cm c-c. Light and comfortable. Slightly less drop than either the Cinelli or the Modolo which makes it perfect for me.

I use Mavic bars right now, criterium bend. 43 outside to outside so 41 cm c-c.
Also 3ttt bars (Gimondi bend?), crit bend. 41 c-c.
Cinelli 65-40, crit bend.
See a trend? lol.
I use a 3ttt anatomic type during the off season to try and prolong the life of what bars I have left. I have pics somewhere if you're interested.

Bikes: are better than yours.
3T has some new bars, Rotundo, that look pretty good. In carbon and alu. The alu are light and cheap. Haven't seen them in person as they aren't available in the US for a few more weeks yet but it might be worth checking them out.
