some beater road drop bars to use with a quill stem (26.4mm)
If your stem is 26.4mm, then you're after Cinelli bars: only they used that standard, before switching to 26mm (in the early Nineties I think).
I have a 26.0mm stem, which would broaden your options. I may also have a sprocket: I'll check and get back to you.
Scilly.Suffolk-
The existing stem is a Cinelli one, yes, but the bars are not. They're Ambrosio Campione del Monde, and having measured the centre with a micrometer, I can confirm that they're 26.4mm. (Velobase agrees: http://velobase.com/ViewComponent.aspx?ID=9DCB7458-1042-46ED-B570-EAC15E104876&Enum=112&AbsPos=0 )
Stem and bar combination would work too, providing the stem has a 90mm reach.
Cheers.

Still on the lookout for cog and saddle to replace the rubbish ones I've got.
Additionally, I fitted the bars to the bike yesterday, and they felt awful, as they're 42cm wide. I usually run bars that are 38cm (ctc). I wouldn't have thought that 4cm could make such a difference, but clearly it does.
As such, I'm after some beater road drop bars to use with a quill stem (26.4mm). Any old tat will do, as long as they're cheap, and they're narrow.
