Elk - so sorry you're having so much trouble finding bars. I lucked out when I bought my bike in November as the shop had these:

I keep praising these too.
They came stock on my Pilot.

I know...but I LOVE my stem! It's adjustable....and I can't believe* there isn't somehitng out there....maybe those Cinellis....



an optimist fer sure....
I tell you ....we need to start a women's PARTS company AND a magazine for women who ride....

I have an older pair of Cinelli bars (the B'Groove) and really like the shape of them. They're sort of ergo, but not the exaggerated ergo of a Ritchey bar (for example). Specialized also makes (made?) a similarly-shaped bar in a 38 c-c for 26mm stems.

Good luck!

Look what I found, traditional bend with 26.0 diameter, available in 38cm:

Performance Bike has the specs (and better pictures):

Drop is 144 and reach is 88

Your Biomax bars are 130/75 (http://ritcheylogic.com/web/Ritchey~...6863&live=true).

So they are longer reach and drop... maybe enough to be a problem without other adjustments, but hard to say...

Oh I also wanted to say, I think the reason you are having trouble finding 3T Eva's is that I THINK they have stopped making them.

Check out the new 3T website:

No women's specific bars any more, though they do make the "Ergonova" range in 38cm size.

Those are close Liza...but I want to stay closer to the 130/75.

what about these? Cinelli Liittle Wing 140/75 pretty close....they don't drop down at the end like the Ritchey's
