My copy of True Prep that I was able to get signed by Chip Kidd last fall when he visited Philly to talk with Charles Burns. Bonus for you: I was able to make a tile image out of the excellent loafer end-paper which makes for great desktop wallpaper.

Rumor has it the bar was made by Cinelli in the 80’s for Pope John Paul II’s white Colnago and generally referred as the Pope or Priest bar for that reason. They’ll pop up on ebay every now and then but Cinelli now makes the Vallencia which only comes in a matte black finish (womp womp) and a 31.8mm clamp. Until I find a pair I’ll continue to stand by the Velo Orange’s more backswept Porteur bar.
