26.0 Compact drop bars?

Now thinking of getting Piegas.

Normally ride 44 ctc so would have got the 46 Piegas, but the Bontragers I have come up at 47 outside to outside, so would I be better going for 48 Piegas? (I am working on the basis the Piegas are still coming up a bit smaller than others).

I don't think they make piegas in 48cm? I think I might order some 46cm's and hope they aren't anatomic

Well spotted - 46 it will be then!

Was going to try to get some Civia Emersons in the US next month but they no longer do them in black in 44's for some reason.

are they?

I can confirm the larger sizes on Wiggle are also compact. Condor still have the older anatomic shape.

Thanks! Just ordered.

Mine have arrived and are compact. Pretty much as the Bonts - bit less reach.

38cm deda's from wiggle are compact! Woop.

how the hell did you manage to fit these on a quill stem!

Edit: god that was awfull

Did you put grease on the bends? That usually helps.

A coin to prise the jaws of the stem apart and a lot of wiggling

^this always works

Was a right pain in the arse getting a 3ttt Pro-chrome round the Piega bend, even with the prising trick, as the clamp is a bit wider than a 'traditional' quill. Bends in the bars are gouged to buggery, but it went on eventually.

I had the same problem, just try doing it with a salsa

It's almost as if Deda don't want us to have nice things - don't they know 2014 is the year of the Tig-welded stem!?

I'm selling a set of 44cm Spotter bars with black fizik tape, fizik gels and Cane Creek dummy levers if anyone is interested?

How much morgan?

42 cm Piegas sold out at Wiggle. Anyone know if any other shops are selling the compact ones?

Bontrager SSR VR-C on my bike:

40cm width, 289g - weighted using a kitchen digital scale.

Got a mail from Wiggle saying it's unlikely they'll get the Piegas back in 44cm.

Should I take a punt at the 46cm or try elsewhere

^tbh ild say get the hwy 1s. more expensive but after getting the piegas ive now swapped for hwy1 because theyre a much better shape. the ends ending much more "behind" makes for much better position and no knocking wrists against handlebars.

1+ on HWY 1, the shape is really nice and actually have a shorter reach.

Thanks guys, will check them out

I have some 44cm bont SSR VR-C (apparently they were spotter's original ones) - they are too wide for me so anyone want them for the £8 I paid for them?

Collection N1 or Southwark...

PM me!

Cheers,
Matt

A couple of badly listed Bonty SSR from this seller on ebay at the moment, get em whilst they're hot.
Careful of widths though, there's a couple of 40's listed as 42's. (check the photos)

For anyone wondering what the deda piegas looks like without the coating...

Some wet&dry paper and brasso brought them out nice.
