Dia-Compe ENE Touring DropThese all have quite a bit of flare and sweep but pretty large drop and reach. None of them come up that wide on the hoods because of the flare and are often measured on the drops, although the mod177 comes quite wide. I think the velo orange has the biggest flair, but big all round .
- I realise its a compact bar thread but some of these are in between compact and traditional in the drop

Looking at some of this options, thing is that I love some mild flare and outsweep to my handlebars, features that im not gonna find in any of those 26 compact handlebars. As I dont mind going all ultraromance and hold them on the vice to try and bend them a little ... should I avoid heat treated nitto handlebars? Is there any particular alloy that is better/easyer at being bent like that? Will I die?
