Anyone know if someone makes road drops as follows:

31.8
traditional-ish drop, could be a bit "anatomic" or "ergo" but don't want anything too shallow
silver / alloy colour pref without garish logos

Like nitto bars but most seem to be in 26.0 only. I guess I could get a shim but not sure if that's a very sensible idea?

Ritchey classic? If not use a shim but they can look shit. Get a different stem?

Yeah I'd seen them, a bit shallow for my liking, it's a shame they don't make them with a deeper drop

Pretty sure Nitto do a lot of their drops in 31.8.

Yeah they do some in 31.8, they put SSB after model number. Quite a limited selection in the uk as far as I can find though.

Get some Rotundo's, stick them in some oven cleaner and then polish them up?

Ha ha, maybe give it a try on something a bit cheaper first...

I've got a pair you could have for cheap if you wanted to experiment- they are 44cm c-c though, so might be a bit wide.

Think I'll pass for now, like you said they're a bit wide. Cheers though.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
