Thanks for the responses. I'm based in South Africa so was wondering what was available new so I could first see if it's available locally, so won't look at anything 2nd hand for now.
Mattty, thanks for the link. That looks like exactly what I'm looking for. Will keep that in mind.
Ironically, after posting this last night I happened on the Deda Dritto, so will see if the local distributor has it. It's an option allthough the Nitto might be preferable.
As for the functionality, I am a keen MTBr so am used to the hand position. Well, sort of...I figured there wouldn't be much difference between 0 and the 3-7 degree MTB bars I've used over the years.
It's for my fixie, so as a result I find drops sans brakehoods to be a much worse option than a straight bar. The drops are too low to spend a lot of time in and the straight part of the bar too narrow.
And personally, I quite like the look of the straight bars.
Thanks for the responses!
