Compact drops look wrong on such a gate of a frame.
Although I don't think they look as bad in the picture below, I get what you're saying and kinda agree with you.
What's the alternative? Track drops with a Jaguar (or Pearl)? I don't really like the look of those and it's fairly uninspired, but they're probably the best fit for this frame. This will also mean a bigger drop, right? I'll have to wait and see what the results of the bike fit will be and take that into account primarily.
And thanks, @Shame! I got lucky I guess, also with the size. Precies de juiste maat, zo lijkt het.

What's the alternative?
Get whatever fits and is comfortable, and drape your jacket over the bars when it's parked so that people can't see them :-)

Nitto road drops are average drop but 25.4 perhaps worth a try if you want more drop?
I've compacts myself on Mr Eddy balk but he's for the road, so for look around reasons really...

Cinelli criterium or Nitto 125, personal favorite

They bars looks spot on! In fact, I want them, what are they?
