going back to the OP. I have a cinelli crit bar on my fixie..
but i have an oversized FSA K-wing handlebar on my road bike which anatomically works better for me with campag ergopower shifters for +100mile week-end rides .
But it has to be personal preference surely.. as for new purchases, I wouldn't bother ordering a cheap aluminium frame and putting centaur groupset / vento wheels on it.. go local and try before you buy like Platini suggests, assuming you are investing in a road bike and not commuter / hack bike..
it simply is not worth spending circa £1,000 on a bike and not know what it feels like to ride, i agree with Konijn choices though, and there are plenty of top quality 2009 frames about so shop around..
