"For Cinelli's you either have to live with 42cms or get ready for a bidding war for the rare 44cm bar that pops up. I hate to think what an old logo, NOS ungrooved 44cm Del Mundo or Giro bar would go for. If anyone has a closet full of 44cm Del Mundo's, please contact me, then Chris! I suppose some day I'll have to start shimming 26.0 bars to reuse some of my Cinelli stems. "

I'd be thrilled to live with some old-logo 42cm c-c Giros, if I COULD FIND ANY!!! I think I have two. That's it. 42cm old-logo Giros are nearly impossible to find for sale, in my experience. I suspect they were not a hot item, back in the day.

One thing I did get, quite by accident, on a couple of nice bikes I bought awhile ago: each bike came with quite beautiful old-logo Fiamme bars, about 41.5cm c-c. Very tasty.
