Any advice on 'classic' dropbars with a relatively shorter reach?
I've read about Nitto Noodles, but they're not widely available 2nd handed.

I'm checking my options for combining a tad shorter stem and a bit less reach in the bars towards the hoods to keep the overall look a bit more balanced, for as far as possible.

Noodles actually have quite a long reach by modern standards - around 95mm, which is a good inch further than a modern compact.

Try the B105AA - reach is 65mm.
