The drop bars I have at the moment are 46cm Anatomics. The trouble is the length of the drop is too short. It;s fine when I'm on the 45 degree angle bits for sprinting and braking etc, but when I just want to put my hands further down towards the end of the drops they are not long enough, and often my hands are almost slipping off the ends.

So I'm looking for:

Longer drops (as per explanation above)

46cm ideally, but would accept 44cm (if they were measured centre to centre - the outside to outside measured 44cm are too narrow)

Anatomic shaped, again preferable

Oversized

Black

And as cheap as possible

    Deda Newton? They have a choice of shallow, anatomic and deep and come in a 46 as well. Parkers have then in stock in black... I use the on my Pinarello and am v happy with them, although I have the "anatomic" not "deep." TBH tho would you not be better off having a browse at your LBS?
  • When I asked for a bar recommendation the forum came back with a resounding vote for the deda newtons - albeit in shallow drop normal for what i was after. Duly went and got some, and very happy with them. There are cheaper - deda piega for example which are peanuts - but the newtons seems to be a good balance of stiffness, lightness and cost

    Got mine from Condor btw.
