Ergo in 3TTT-speak means double-grooved, as in Ergopower. It doesn't refer to an "anatomic" shaped bar if that's what you were thinking.

also, beware that the newly reintroduced Cinelli 64s don't have any grooves....
I also just noticed that Planet-X lists the clamp on the 3TTT as 25.4mm, but that may be a mistake. They should be 26mm (actually, 25.8mm), but always worth checking before ordering, especially from Planet-X. :roll:

oh, another thing to bear in mind, 3TTT measure their bars outside to outside. Not sure whether Planet-X are using 3TTT's measurements or the more common centre to centre. So what 3TTT calls 42cm is a Cinelli 40cm.

The Nitto bars you find in the UK don't have double grooves.
(edit: ooops, just realised you were referring to Nitto stems. A shim would be a lot cheaper; Nitto even make a very nice one.)
