3T Tornova Pro or Rotundo Pro?

bikingjohn

I'm using Ratio Tacto compact handlebar, and I'm still new to road bike, so I'd like to try out the traditional / classic bend handlebar.

Velominati.com gave good review on Rotundo Pro. But I'm not sure if I should try the Tornova Pro instead.

Guys, see if you could share any experience on the above, or on any traditional / classic bend handlebar. Thanks.

What's the logic for changing bars? Any particular issues with your current set up?

Hate to high jack the thread has anyone got the Tornova yet? Would be interested in people's thoughts if they have.

But in trying to help the OP, as above, is there something bothering you with your current bars? Traditional bend have a flatter section in the drops, and the bend is such that shifters sit not flush with the tops ie. there isn't a flat top to hood transition, you get a dip. Some people prefer this, others not. The Tornova is designed to give you the flat drops of the traditional bend but also giving you the flat top to hood transition like more 'modern' bars.

when I'm in the drop, the brake/shifters are hard to reach. and yes i did tweak the reach of the levers (it's SRAM Apex). i'd like to see if traditional bend would improve that area.
