I didn't go for the randonneur bar because of it's looks.
I went for it because it is a component that works brilliantly, for me.
I like that the drops flair out beyond the bar's shoulder, allowing you to climb in the drops if you want, and the tops fit into the hand wonderfully.
I happen to like the look of them - they are actually a classic design going back to the late fifties - but I didn't buy them for their look.
Anyone who buys a component, indeed judges a component, solely on it's aesthetic properties, is a proper dog's quim.
