After some advice on a set of budget short reach shallow drop bars. Got Cannondale own branded c3s on my supersix which I really like for their flat profile along the top to the hoods, but on my new winter bike, got a set of Orbea alloy bars which arent comfortable for me. I have two damaged wrists through previous bike accidents so a flat short profile is better for me.

Im looking out for a set of c3s but wondered if anyone could suggest any other cheap bars? Shallow drop short reach would be my preference

    FSA omega compacts are really nice.

    my wife's focus came with FSA Vero compact handlebars and they look like they are a good shape (although I haven't ridden with them). This is the link to Wiggle's site: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/fsa-vero-compac ... handlebar/

    Thanks for the replies ill look into them. Got a set of c3s sorted for now but might upgrade the dale to something else lighter and better shaped.

    Another vote for FSA Vero but beware that they size small due to the flared drops so you need to order the next size up. Deda RHM01 / 02 are a slightly deeper, rounder shape but a bit shorter reach than the FSA and less flared. Less than £20 as well and look more expensive.

    Ritchey Curve. Easily my favorite shape.
