ITM Super Italia Pro 260

Price Paid:  $35.00 at Supergo

Favorite Ride:
The Loire Valley - Wine and Dine Me

Bike Setup:
2003 Romax with 1995 Veloce 8 speed.

Summary:
I have been riding these bars since 1995. They have more km on them than my car does. They are stiff, light and very comfortable. They were one of the first bars double groved for Campy Egro levers/breaks, and still a good value.

Strengths:
Light Weight, double groved. Last forever

Weaknesses:
They will last forever and I will never be able to rationalize an upgrade.

Bike Setup:
Vortex, Corrado custom steel and Chas Roberts custom steel.

Summary:
See my previous review for the anatomic bend. This is for the strada bend. After 25+ years of riding Cinelli 66 bars, I went anatomic. First TTT Prima220, then ITM Pro 260, and finally Cinelli Nerve. I'm back to road bend bars as I prefer their shape. These are strong and relatively light.

Strengths:
Reasonable weight and well made.

Weaknesses:
None

None.
