  • Better shape I'm guessing, not all compact are identical, some have a very long drop that extend further beyond the handlebar clamp, some have a ridiculously "steep" drop like the Bontrager SSR that I grew to hate.

    Soma have slightly less reach (-3mm) and slightly more drop (+2mm). Either way they seem pretty similar on paper, so I just wondered if there was something in particular.

    EDIT: Dammit, there is a WW thread on compact/shallow drop handle bars. http://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=91575&sid=9e44328c0dc197a3ad21a304d352b00c&start=15
