They don't look bent to me. Must be some people trying to get those bars for their all vintage bike or something.

All those curves and shiny chrome.
Absolutely beautiful!
That first picture just makes them look uneven somehow.

They seem to be a bit splayed on the photo from behind as well. Could be an optical illusion, but they look bent to me too.

Bikes: yes please.

it seems they might be a bit bent... it's so hard to tell though. the perspective seems exagerated perhaps due to the focal length or vantage point of the lense.

are you looking for track bars?

i stumbled across these deda's on the bianchi site:
https://store.bianchiusa.com/cgi-bin/store/E5010.html

they've got some super large sweeping top radii like those cinelli's... and don't cost quite as much.

The above poster is right, they aren't bent it's just that first pic that makes them look weird.

One twenty two isn't bad for those, they'll probably go for more than that anyway, even with the crazy long stem and the wrong bolt on top.
