I have five sets. Four are mounted, and one in storage. Best bars evah! I
don't think they're wider on top than noodles (46cm) but the flare is a bit
wider on the bottom. The flare is really nice for riding in the drops. I'm
experimenting w/ a tall/shorter stem to see how it works for, and
Dern if these bars don't have me curious (does Grant know how good he
is at making things into cult items?). I like my noodles fine but
have recently been considering getting wider ones. I'm tall but
fairly narrow shouldered, and I'm wondering if the narrow-tops/wide-
flares might fit better. C

I think the grand rando is the Nitto Model B-135, these are labeled RM013.

In late 2000 or early 2001 I bought a pair of Nitto handlebars from
Rivendell labelled "Grand Randonneur 135". I measure 38 cm at the
hoods and 44.5 cm at the ends, which is quite a bit more flare than
any other handlebar I've seen. I'm pretty sure they were described as
