Tinkering with my ride for Dunwich this weekend and hoping to replace the current drops which are awkwardly sloped downward on the tops. Looking for something with a more modern flatter top or short reach. Thanks

I have a pair of 400mm Nitto B105 (they have a medium road drop and some flat on top) which I just changed over for a wider version of the same bar. Not crashed or bent or significantly scratched.

Guess £20 would be cool, yours if can you collect from southbank area before friday? pm for phone deets.
Cheers

Cool, not sure if those are drastically different to my current drops though. Here's a pic:

I'd say try turning the bars up a bit, the drop section should to be at an angle so your wrists are straight. That would create more flat around the bend at the tops.

Actually I also have a pair of Nitto 'noodles' that are either 38 or 40. Again in good condition. They have a back sweep on the flats, meaning the bends are pulled back too I think.

Noodles sound about perfect - how much do you want for them?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
