Colnago build, the finale

Again... I'm having bike envy

That is one SSSSWWWWEEEETTTT ride! Does he have a name yet? And I agree, it's definitely a "he."

Aaah. Very nice!

I also had a problem finding 38 cm bars but with the dimensions I wanted. I already had 38 cm alloy bars but they have the ergo bump, which I don't like, they are shallow drop which I also don't like and they don't have the full c-curve which I do like. When I looked, most of the 38 cm bars all had shallow drop. I wanted mid-sized with a drop of at least 142 to 145 mm. Either they just weren't out there or they were out of stock. I even went to the Specialized site and they were all out of stock for the alloy mid-sized 38's. I finally settled on just about the only bars I could find and that ended up being Specialized Ruby carbon bars. I did not want to pay that much for bars but I did find the dimensions I wanted. And, actually I notice a difference in reduced road rattle. I also have bar phat tape and with the carbon I'm not feeling much vibration.

I still have the old alloy 38 cm ergo bump shallow drop bars in the cellar if you get desparate and not able to find anything in the interim.

Gorgeous!!! The build suits the frame!

You could also try changing your tire pressure. I know we've had numerous discussions on this lately, but as light as you are, you could easily go between 90-100psi for a significantly cushier ride. The numbers on the tire are the absolute maximum they can handle without blowing off the rim, NOT the recommended pressure for comfortable riding.
