Colnago build, the finale

[mudmucker]

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.
