'Fat' drops or bullhorns?

Posted on
  • Some million pound bike in Condor I saw today had some lovely fat tt drops but in carbon. Really wide diameter tubing all over (not just the centre stem bulge area) which suited my fat hands.

    Is there anything more modest in alloy like this - either full drops or preferably bullhorns?

  • Yep:

  • Ahh, but these weren't all 'fangly dangly shapes all over the place' like those - just a lovely traditional curved drop all one univeral fat diameter tube.

  • Was that the Condor/Ralpha black carbon track bike - if so them there bars are Easton.

    Very nice :)

    They are the heat treated Nittos - normally grey, very smart in blue... Standard diameter though. I'd go for them too if no sucess with the 'fatties'.

  • Think I've found a good fat bullhorn:

    Good width and 26mm diameter all around , £20 at Ribble.

  • Could you buy standard bars and then pad them out with two layers of tape or those gel strip things that (I think) Specialized makes..?

  • cinelli make them gel things
