Ok, this is going from bad to worse... just looked at the bars and noticed they were not in the middle. I'd set them up according to the midle coda position on the bars with the stem between the guidelines, assumed this was the idea. Oh no. When I was straightening the stem i noticed the gap between bars and tyre was over 1 cm less than the other side... When i set up according to measuring the bars and using the cable grooves as guide, this is what it looked like.
This whole build is getting annoying but no choice in the UK if you want a specific build, NOT involving Shimano or SRAM.

Are they genuine? Where did you buy them? All the ones we have used have been marked centrally hence the doubt.

Also, there are plenty of good shops around that will do very nice custom builds. We do plenty, and at least half are Campagnolo. There are a lot of bad shops that are not interested in anything except off the peg, factory wheels, and Shimano/Sram, but I would say it's far from "no choice" when it comes to custom builds, handbuilt wheels and the less common options from the good shops you'll find if you look hard enough.

They were bought from Wiggle so I would expect they were genuine but I have contacted them now.

So, do you think the bars are screwed up or just the printing?
