    nitto m109aa

    This was the original bar I wanted as opposed to the Deda Elementi. I just couldn't find a good price for it. narrower (42 vs. 40), compact drop vs classic drop, shorter reach (76 vs. 80)

    zenith GC quill

    Shortest quill I can find in terms of both height (130) & length (60). Current deda stem is 150 tall and it's bottoming out the butted section of the headtube.

    Dia-Compe DC-139 Guidonnet

    Going on Steamroller with its current nitto rb010 horns. I dislike the in-line brake as it's quite a deviation from the clean lines of the horns. Reviews said these don't give great stopping power, but I mostly only use my brake to reset the pedal position (still could not track stand)
