I recently had this dilemma for my Colnago. Decided to go for the Nitto M106 NAS handlebar for a few reasons, but glad I did. They have a lovely shape, slightly flattened area for bar to hood transition. Heat treated, so assuming they will be stiff enough and being nitto have a great finish/build quality.
Attached a couple pics from phone. Still work in progress, so not set on positioning yet, levers might get nudged forward a bit, but gives you an idea. Reckon shimano would be an even nicer fit. I know the m194 ssb (I have on my Roberts) are designed to work best with them, maybe the case with these. I have campag on both though, meh.
Only issue for you is the compact drop, if you can live with the 78 reach, 128mm drop? Wouldn't doubt they have a deeper drop variant?
