Do these handle bars exist?
I'm looking for matte black track drops (like Deda Pistas) with a 25.4 clamp size. Can't find them anywhere. Suggestions?

Yep, ano'd black B123AA's. Or you could buy regular B123AA's and get them ano'd yourself, or get them powdercoated, or cover them completely in black bar tape...

Yeah, I considered that. But again, I wanted to go with matte black ones if I can find them. Other than buying a stem with a 31.8 clamp size, I'm thinking my options might be limited.

I personally like the feel of the deda pistas (31.8 clamp size) more than a non tapered bar, well worth the extra money for a new stem.

You're probably right. But I just bought a new stem and it's hard for me to justify buying another right now. That's why I was looking for a 25.4mm alternative.
