  1. Speaking of standards, any recommendations of drop bars that will work in a
    25.4mm stem?

    LBS sells 3T (3TTT?) but they appear to be 25.8. Sheldon says this might work - anybody got any
    experience with this?

    cheers, clive

    Not recommendations but 25.4 drop bars are still available from
    sjscycles.comvIndex.htm

    It might work but it's bad practice to mismatch by more than 0.2mm. Stem would be in danger of not
    clamping correctly and may fail or get damaged. I would not risk it and get a new stem instead so
    good modern bars can be used.

    Most current 3T and ITM drop bars are 25.8. Most other decent drop bars are now 26.0.
