Hi all,

Looking at some bars for my next build, I'm currently using Bontrager Race Xlite Blade's and find them really comfy, the best thing is the nice flat section at the bottom of the drops, but I really like the shape of the Zipp Vuka's

But the price is a bit prohibitive, anyone know of a similar shaped bar?

    Cant really comment too much but my specialized tarmac comes with these nice alloy bars that are slighty more oval at the top so more comfy to rest on so im sure they would do a s works or a carbon version that youd like.

    also just to clarify are you after the flatter tops that you wrap with car tape that are then more comfortable or the flat tops that are for aero only so no wrapping of bar tape?

    Sorry to clarify,

    I'm after a nice long flat section at the drops. tops flat ideally as i like to rest my forearms sometimes.
