This all reminds me, the similarly (nearly identically) engraved GB randonneur bend bars I recently purchased are not 26.0mm, but 1" (25.4mm). Were the maes bend GBs on the Raleigh Pros 26.0mm to fit the TTT stems, or did Raleigh just overtighten the TTT clamp bolts a bit? I suppose TTT could have made 1" clamp stems for Raleigh, but somehow I doubt this.

Jerry Moos
