A good point well made 🙂
-
Classic bend without traditional drop does exist though (probably not in quill flavour however)
The flat drops of a round bend bar are super comfortable for me
-
IMHO the appeal of compact bars is more in the flat transition from ramp to hood than the drop itself.
All decisions should be made for ridability.
Absolutely.

I don't think traditional bends are disfunctional with modern brifters perse. I'll go as far as saying the aethethics of a flat transition are of more importance than the perceived ergnomic aspects for many.
For my own builds the choice between compact or traditional is all about ridability, where I want the hoods to be with aesthetics being secondary to that.

The point of these MGOFs is that they are fully functional modern road machines, so I think shallow bars are acceptable. All decisions should be made for ridability. Whenever I see one with classic bars, I think that’s for the look, which is not what MGOF is about IMO.
I've done many thousands of miles on this, with these bars:
(Now rebuilt with a slightly different build kit, but same stem/bars/seatpost).
