Want to trade or buy deda 4 girls 38cm.

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

Hmmm; now I'm confused. According to Deda's website, the 4girls bars only come in 38 cm? How are you measuring the Deda bars that you currently have? They measure them outside to outside. You might double check them.

sorry I haven't been around.

1. I am getting Specialized road bars. let me give it a 100 miles ie one week, and I will get back to you jewell

2. I would love to get rid of the 36's (center to center, just to clear things up). I am moving soon and carrying 3 sets of bars around just seems ridiculous when I only have one bike.

One of the reasons I read this thread was because of the 5 star rating. Which, once done posting, I will be doing so myself (giving 5stars).

This is great info on a couple other bar options I didn't know about. Been racking my brain myself. I'm a 38cm girl as well. So, no sale for me... but interested on how the new bars work out.

Thx!

My specialized bars are my favorites. Which ones are you getting, Madscott?

specialized women's road handlebar

they come in 38/40/42cm center-to-center

I hope the specialized bars work out right (I hope my trek doesn't reject them as a foreign invader!) It also comes in an ergo form and one with zertz for a bit more squids.

and yes I wish I could find silver handlebars too! but I'm not brave enough to sandblast them or anything.

ps I thought I had given my own post five stars by accident. I'm happy to know where it came from.

I've done a ton of research in the past few days about what bars are available in 38 cm or smaller. Part of the problem I've noticed is that while various manufacturers make smaller sizes, they aren't necessarily easy to find--at least with online retailers.

In any event, I may soon have a set of my own to sell. FSA Compact Wing Pros in size 38 to be exact. I'll post a separate thread when I get it all sorted out.

just a heads up: after about 170 miles on the specialized bars I give them a thumbs. I still wouldn't call it perfect but maybe I can dial the fit some more.
i went with 40 after getting measured at the LBS. He said I was between a 38 and a 40 with my wrist bones showing me as closer to 38. Well I've never thought about my wrist bones as indicative for my handlebar size. But he said that if I was using 40 and didn't have problems then I should just stick with it. besides I didn't want to give up the room on the flats of the bars.

is it weird that I have to change my seat position with my bars? I actually want to change my seat altogether.
