The Mod177AA noodle bar is a Rivendell design. It's a wide, moderately deep drop bar with a twist. Or, more properly, a kink. The flats curve gently back towards the rider. This makes upright riding unusually comfortable, so the Noodle is a great choice for riding in traffic. Plus it's 26.0 clamp, which makes life easier...
The Pearl is Nitto's standard alloy quill. It's a model of understated elegance. The image in the zoomed photo is out of date, since we now stock both 26.0 and 25.4mm clamp versions. Thus, in theory, we can now offer a Pearl to match either 'road' or 'track' bars. 25.4mm users get the bonus of an NJS stamp.
My stem is the 26mm clamp and the bars are 40cm in width.
