Want to trade or buy deda 4 girls 38cm.

[madscot13]

If anyone has the them lying around i would like a set of the Deda 4 girls handlebar 38cm in width. I currently have the 36 cm size but they are a spot too narrow for me. I also have the Salsa poco bars in 40 cm. I like the bars but the ergo grips are not for me and a size smaller would be nice.

thanks,
a very petite biker

I thought I was the only one that thought those ergo bumps on the Salsas were completely awful! Glad I'm not alone.

Sorry I can't help directly with your bar hunt, but if you need to expand your search you might want to look at the Specialized Ruby SL bar, or the much cheaper (but I assume same dimensions) Women's Pro Road Ergo.

Fit me like a glove (I think the 38's fit somewhere just shy of a true 38, but still bigger than a 36, plus I can really get my hands in the drops and have an amazingly short reach to the brakes).

Signed,
An equally petite biker

thanks for the heads up. I thought that they only did the oversize bars.

I think this one might fit the bill. There is a specialized dealer nearby so they might have it (although they are more of a higher end for men store)

I would love the salsa poco handlebars that are 40cm, but I hate the black bead-blast finish. What ever happened to beautiful chrome? I have the 42cm size Salsa Moto Ace Bell-Lap handlebars that came with my 50cm cross check surly, but I'm wondering if the smaller size and the poco would be better.

Oh, and haven't known anything else other than the ergo bars on my handlebar. I suppose I don't know what I'd like more. I'd assume I'd miss them.

If anyone knows of a way to take of that finish, please let me know.

I don't have the 38s you're looking for, but I'd be happy to buy the 36s if you're selling them--depending on when you're willing to part with them.

Madscot13 I think I would be interested in the 40cm salsa poco handlebars you got. I think I've devised a way to take off the black bead blast finish. My honey elkhide handlebar covers would look splendid on it I think with my honey B.68 saddle! Shall we continue this via email? jewellertman@gmail.com
