I am building up a Ramboulliet and am going silver with everything, not industrial black as so many components are colored. My question: where can I get a variety of silver handlebars? I have gone to Rivendell itself, but I don't want a Noodle (I can't STAND the way the bar comes back at me) nor do I want a deep drop bar. This is all Riv offers now. I like the Ritchey WCS OK, but it only comes in black, as does my favorite Specialized bar that I have on my Concours. I am looking for a short drop, short reach bar with a flat ramp forward to the brakes -- in silver. Ideas?

is your rambouillet blue or orange? i have an orange one and outfitted it with dark colors, including open pro cds and berthoud carbon fenders. sweet. my buddie has a new blue one with all silver components and it looks sensational.

hope you enjoy your rambo as much as i do mine. :D

ciao!

Although Ritchey only list their bars in black, I found a silver WCS on E-Bay for a ridiculously cheap price, I think it was $20 plus shipping. Don't know if it was NOS, but it was just what I was looking for.

If you need the narrow widths (my own inexplicable preference) then your choices narrow commensurately. But there are just so many NOS silver bars out there that they are not too hard to find. Jitensha and Harris may have the "dream" Nitto or others and there are usually plenty of TTT and Cinelli on eBay. My favorite non-Nitto bar is the TTT Morphe which SJS usually has: flat top, square sides, and groove for those pesky aero cables.

I recently put on my Spectrum are more like an aluminum look, but they aren't black and coordinate well with an otherwise silver look.

Bought the Ritchey Biomax in silver on ebay recently. Drop 130, reach 75, with 3 degree flare and 6 degree sweep. Most comfortable bars I've had for riding in the drops. Check eBay, they have a silver Ritchey Logic Comp bar and a TTT Curva Ergo in silver currently on auction.
Go to sporting goods-cycling-road bike & parts-parts & accessories-handlebars. Then type in silver and check the box 'search title & description' if you want to see all silver handlebars for auction or type in Ritchey or TTT for those specific bars.

had Titec Malone bars in silver a while back. I just checked and he has silver in 42 and 46, but the price is way up there...$12.50.
