Current production 26.0 drop bars without cable grooves

[Simon Masterson]

Hi folks, wondering if anyone has any ideas. Thought I’d have a go at a ‘70s TT bike, and am looking for options for a classic styled current production bar I can use (not a fan of riding old aluminium bars in anger). I use and like the modern Cinelli 64 on another bike, but they have the cable grooves. The bikes I’m taking inspiration from (eg Alf’s) commonly have deeper drop bars like the Cinelli 66, and I’m ideally after a similar shape.

So far I’ve identified the Genetic Heritage bars (https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/handlebars/ ... mp-silver/), which look like a good, affordable option. I like the look of the Nitto B105, but I have a 26.0 stem I want to use, and don’t want to use shims if I don’t really have to.

Anyone know of any other options? Cheers.

Thanks, I’ll add those to the list.

These look promising, they certainly have the drop that I’m after... http://velosolo.co.uk/zenithtrackbar.html
