Wanted: 26.0 Road Drops, modern

I'm after some handlebars for my new bike.

I don't really know much about road bars... what's called what and who makes what.. etc...

When I say modern, I mean something late 90's(?) - current. Basically something with a modern shape. I'm struggling to describe anything right now.

After something that would work well with Sram S500 levers, you know, giving a nice flat transition from bar to hood.

I'm also looking for a fairly shallow drop, ergo shaped bars might be cool.

I'm kind of open-minded. Just wondered if anyone's got any spare that would suit.

Thanks for looking.
P.S. I'd go OS but need something for the stem I'm using which is standard clamp.

Go OS, much more handlebar choice as most are only made in 31.8mm now.

Oh cool. How silly of me, of course Scoble had it covered ;-)

As I said I'd go OS but I already have my stem so am stuck with standard. Not a huge deal anyway, I'm sure I'll find something.

I've got an Easton bar, 26.0 x 45cm ergo bend, you're welcome to it.

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.
