Jerry,

I bought one of those, too. I haven't mounted it yet, because the center is pretty large and only fits a Cinelli, and I don't have bike that likes a low stem right now. Other than that, a great shape! Is that a Maes bend? It seems like a shallow version of a Cinelli 66, but with flare-out.

Does anyone know when TTT stopped making bars under their old name Ambrosio and adopted the TTT trademark? I thought this occurred in the very early 70's, but I just bought these bars on eBay from a list member:

He was told, but has not been able to verify, that these are late 70's or 80's. The style could fit in that era, but I thought Ambrosio bars were long gone by 1980. Did TTT make bars under both names for a number of years?

Regards,

Jerry Moos
