A couple months ago I bought the 1975 Masi Gran Criterium originally
owned by Jim Cunningham
http://ebay.com/<blah
the process of rebuilding it. When I received it, cosmetically it was
quite good, but mechanically it was in sore need of attention. And,
previous owners had made some odd choices. Among these was a modern
Profile Design handlebar that looked quite incongruous. I intended to
replace it with a Cinelli of appropriate vintage, but have discovered
that the stem is a 26.0, -- too small for a standard Cinelli. I don't
want to replace the stem because it is pantographed with Faliero Masi's
signature. It is similar to this one:

except that mine is black anodized.
Does anyone out there have a suitable vintage 26.0 handlebar I can buy?
Likely a TTT. I'm a big guy (6'4"), so would like something wide -
-preferably 44cm center to center, but I'd settle for 42cm ctc.
