460mm carbon drop bars for Vendetta/Silvio

[BentAero]

While searching the Aliexpress (Asia's version of Amazon) site trying to find some carbon "Ivan" handlebars for Larry Osland's Vendetta, I found a vendor that now lists them in 460mm width. The widest width I've seen prior was 440mm, which works for skinny people like me with no muscle, but would be a bit snug for most riders.

Don't know if the company offering them is good or bad, but I haven't heard of anyone having a problem with purchasing from the various Chinese sellers. YMMV.

Thanks for this

Thanks for this BentAero!
I've been thinking about this as well in my offseason.
I want to tighten up my cockpit a bit (I kinda like my straight generic drop bars on my Silvio 1.0) and the gary bars I have on the Vendetta are...well...not that.

If I pull the trigger I'll post back.

If the 460mm bars don't work out

If you find the 460mm bars just a little too narrow, you might want to take a look at the Salsa Cowbell 2.

It is available in 460mm, but has a slight 12 degree flare that frees up a bit of room. Looks like a Goldilocks amount of flare to me.

Kind regards....

Hey, who are you calling

Hey, who are you calling skinny with no muscle?!?

If anyone is interested in those bars, just do ask whether the size is C-C or O-O. My vendor told me clearly that my bars were 46cm O-O and 44cm C-C. They work for skinny me!
