Colnago Update - Handlebars

I finally have the correct handlebars in hand. Look at this picture and note two items; 1) the cool carbon fiber weave, and 2) how the round bar flattens and widens a bit towards the middle where your hands spend a fair amount of time. I like the non-round shape of the perch.

Here is a picture of the bar mounted;

And here's one with a brake/shifter installed. Note the graduated lines that make it easy to keep the brake hoods even on both the right and left sides;

I have lots of non-cycling obligations this week-end and am not sure how much time I'm going to have to work on this little project but I'll do what I can. This is taking much longer than I thought it would.
