Errr....loads of people will have. I use Deda Zero 100 compact bars.
I like compact bars as they allow me to use the drops a lot more often, in contrast to most of my mates, who only seem to use them exclusively on downhill sections.
"Arran, you are like the Tony Benn of smut. You have never diluted your depravity and always stand by your beliefs. You have my respect sir and your wife my pity"
FSA are the major innovator as they flared the drops out by 4 degrees. Before that, Deda were the standard with their shallow drop Newtons. Bontrager RXL look quite good
Many now prefer compact to deeper drop bars, let's face it, as many of us get older our flexibility reduces and a compact bar with a shallower drop is often a most welcome relief!
FSA wing pro are very good. I find compact bars a little ugly but after trying deep drop, traditional etc I always went back to the wing pros - comfort (significant!) had to rule over aesthetics.
They also do a much cheaper version if you want to try them out - omegas. Not oval tops and the flare may be a little different but similar.

Pfft!! I've got pneumatic tyres
Anyone tried 8-speed yet? Surely those gears are too close together to work reliably?
what? 8 gears..?? Surely nobody needs that many....

I take it you haven't tried the new Safety Bicycle then? It's a revelation!

You talk a lot of rubbish. Those things will never catch on - mark my words.
