I have been using the Ritchey WCS II compact drop for a while now if that's what you are asking.0

Yes."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"

Yes, for about 6 yearsMake mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..0

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 goodM.Rushton0

Anyone tried 8-speed yet? Surely those gears are too close together to work reliably?0 -
You may laugh but I have only just gone from a 6 speed down tube shifters to StI's in the last month.0

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.0 -
Yes, but I find I can't get into a really good tuck with them on my Penny Farthing.Faster than a tent.......0
