Do I want 'em for my Mercian project?? Anyone know how deep the drop on the bar is..........:confused:

180mm ctc. Shouldhave let me know before I moved. I think I still had one 66-42 bar left out of my stock. I've gone to 64's, less drop at 169.

iirc, drop on a mod66 is about 165 c-c, and 145 c-c on a mod64 Giro. Boneman must be measuring the total top to bottom height (ie-outside to outside)

My 66s measure 160 c-c, about what you got. Hey, they'd be great for any serious roadbike of the 80s. Those were the ones used by Greg LeMond during his TDF days. I like em. They fit my large hands. They're stiff as nails. I bent a pair back in the 80s and had a hell of a time bending them out. The ones I have now are over 20 years old and I still trust em. I think it's mostly because of their slightly larger diameter.
