Modern bar that fits 26.0 and not black?
Looking for advice on a bar that places nice with modern shifters but comes in 26.0 and is silver. My Cinelli Giros are getting a bit uncomfortable...

Two really fine choices from Nitto:

* M196 STI Heat Treated Handlebar (better for Shimano)
* M190 Euro 80 Heat threated Handlebar (better for Campy)

I've inserted links to Alex's Cycles here, mainly because I knew they sell these Nitto bars, but I've had good experiences buying from them too.

HTH.

Sim Works has a couple I believe. I own the Co-Misirlou and it's great:

Modern size (drop and reach), Nitto quality, reasonable price, and large range of widths= Nitto M151F.

I bought modern bars in black. Then I stripped the ano off using draino and polished them.

I love my soma highway 1 handlebars, just fyi If using a stem without removable face plate (like most quill stems) it can be pretty tough to install these modern shaped handlebars because of the tight bends. Even with the "coin trick" I barely got mine installed. Couldn't use my hidden bolt Duar-ace stem.

This is the Compass Maes Parallel handlebar. The brake lever is a gutted Campagnolo Ergo 10 speed unit. Looks like "playing nice" to me.



BTW - I take "modern handlebar" to mean one currently in production and available for sale new through retail channels. It's available in 25.4 and 31.x, and Nitto makes shims to fit 25.4 bars in 26.0 stems.
