What are the best bars out there right now?

NOT carbon.

Fancy some new ones for my ti bike. My Alpha Q stem is fine, but feel free to add another one if theres a killa combo out there? Money no object, but value is.

Any issues with white?

    Surely this is a very personal thing? like Easton EA70 bars.

    As personal as a saddle IMO...

    I'm 6'2" but like compact bars for example.

    maybe.... but like saddles there are some that stand out (Fiziks e.g.)

    I like FSA, 3T are good for me too. In fact, I would wager there is a perfect 3T set out there for you...

    it just helps me pick the shop to go look....

    not many lbs's have much in. Hard to try before you buy, so helps to have some idea of the best in advance to select the shops that stock them!

    3T Ergosum or Ergonova Pros would be a good starting point.

    Or maybe just stick on my zipps - though I think they are for the ebay?! Not convinced - and like a standard shape stem.

    Got to say that I rate the 3T stuff higher than the cheapo Zipp stuff.

    I've got the Zipp bar and stem combo, it replaced the 3T stuff, and the 3T stuff is back on the bike now

    maybe, bit you can't call the zipp stuff cheapo.
    you may prefer the 3T, but the zipp's are far from cheapo or crap. I'd have them on in a flash but the shape of the stem is putting me off.

    The 3T stuff is a lot heavier in alu, too.
