Patrick - are you spec'ing a 31.8 clamp size because you're going to use the bars with possibly a threadless stem with a 4-bolt bar clamp? If so, it's too bad that you don't want an anatomic bar because the one fits all of your other criteria better than some of the other recommendations is

Thanks Jeremy and Aaron; both bars are in the running. I still favor the Specialized Hover bar for its 15 mm rise, but any of these with 31.8 mm clamp would work. On Wed, Jan 11, 2023 at 6:39 PM wrote: > Soma hwy 1 is another good (cheap) option in 26 and 31.8. I use them and > like them but

Soma hwy 1 is another good (cheap) option in 26 and 31.8. I use them and like them but agree there is no place between the tops and hoods. Drop: 130mm Reach: 75mm Best, Aaron in El Paso On Jan 11, 2023, at 18:08, Jeremy Till wrote: The Salsa Cowbell is the shortest drop bar I've found

The Salsa Cowbell is the shortest drop bar I've found (and used) at 68mm reach. Contemporary "short and shallow" type hooks. If you're used to any kind of real estate behind the brake lever, however, you might find these lacking. Fully on the brake lever hoods is about the only hand position

Thank you, Elizabeth; both those look very possible -- and yes, I should have mentioned that I do want a 31.8mm clamp area. The Specialized website also showed these with a 15 mm rise: perhaps even better:

As long as you don't mind a 31.8mm clamp area and a black finish, both Specialized's Shallow Bend handlebar and Zipp's 70 Ergo bars have a darn short reach and are super comfortable. (Specialized has a round top; Zipp has a slightly flatter top...) The Zipps have a 70mm reach; Specialized's

I too would be curious about a bar like this, specifically with a 26.0 or 25.4 clamp size. If 31.8 isn't a buzzkill for you, I have nothing but good things to say about Ritchey's Evocurve handlebar. Quite comfy. On Wednesday, January 11, 2023 at 4:06:34 PM UTC-6 Patrick Moore wrote: > Is
