Current Projects chat and miscellany

hi all

your recommendations please:
thinking of replacing the bars on my road bike for something a bit more comfortable.
currently i have giro d'italia's, which are ok, but i'd like a slightly shallower drop, and a more anatomical / ergonomic curve, (preferably without having to switch stems too: 26.4).

what are the options, and what's best etc?

ta.

Finding a more compact bar on 26.4 will be very hard if not impossible.
If you really want more compact your best bet is to change to 26.0 (if you want quill).

For reference all the 26.0 compact bars I've have come across:

Deda 215 - Drop:142 Reach:86
Deda Newton - Drop: 135 Reach:80
Deda Piega - Drop:143 Reach:87
Bontrager SSR VR-C Drop:125 Reach: couldn't find
Soma Highway one - Drop:130 Reach: 75
Nitto M106 Neat - Drop: 128 Reach 78
Origin-8 Pro-lite compact handlebar Drop: 120 Reach: 70

The last 3 are hard to find online but SJS may be able to order in a soma highway one for reference.
I Was in the same position as you this week and have been looking searching all over for a 26.4 and 26.0 compact bar.
