Oversize bars?

Hi,

I'm looking at buying some clip on TT bars and I am unsure whether my bike has oversize bars or not? It's a Bianchi Via Nirone 7 Sora. The reason I think this is for that the rubber on my turbo computer is too small for the bars.

Thanks.

    'oversize' means the diameter at the stem clamp* is 31.8mm (or 31.7mm if you're deda)

    *most bars narrow down some distance from the clamp, often to about 25.4 26mm, which are the common diameters for most, but not all, non-oversized bars, some bars may change to a non-round section away from the clamp area


    you need to measure the diameter of your bars at the point where the clip-ons would be attached
    my bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny
