I don't know much about drops as I'm a flat earth/bar rider...

Needs to be 44cm and sub £50ish

    Deda Newton - shallow version if he like to ride on both tops and drops, anatomic if he prefers just riding on the hoods. Or, FSA Omega, if he likes the current fashion for compact bars and doesn't mind the extra weight/stiffness (and they're cheap).

    I was going to say FSA Omega, but then I do like compacts. I think mine were sub £30 on ebay and they are very comfortable since I've got small hands.

    They weigh 10% (30g) more than the Newtons, if you are a weight weenie.
