Yeah, I got a good price on these from BikeWagon, only $39.00, free shipping and the craftsmanship on them is very good!

No, only 42CM's. I didn't even know they make them that wide!

Yeah, besides the nice shape of these bars, it was the shorter reach that I liked about them.

Figuring in the size of the frame, the TT length and stem lengths, I think these bars should work out well. Hopefully I did my homework properly! We'll see...
