Nitto M106 have the same overall dimensions as Hwy 1 AFAIK but also have a very comfortable squared-tube profile on the transition section from tops to hoods. I love 'em, but you're paying a premium to get them in from Japan unless anything's changed recently.

I was considering these for a while but their cost+ shipping is just a bit too much for me. I am now setting my eyes on bontrager ssr or procraft road pro bars,which would require some serious sanding in order to get them shiny or at least satin. I can't seem to find a decent picture of the HW1's, on some bikes the drops look nice and parallel to the ground,on others they seem to be pointing down. The nittos are pretty much perfect in shape and form but are there any cheaper alternatives that could be recommended?

Hello!
I am currently in the process of finishing up a classic steel frame with STI's and I'm searching for some polished silver compact drop bars with cable grooves in 25.4 or 26. Current contender are some HW1's, but I have a feeling that there are even better choices. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Something like the picture below would be perfect.
