Thank you for the link.

Big 150mm reach but also 150mm drop; bet that will evolve to a much shallower number after Tokyo for a lot of the bar makers.

39 is doable, would like narrower but the reach and drop is most important for me for fit at the moment. Tough to find everything needed.

Carleton, it's such an odd bar to find, no way for me to...

Too much drop, but still interesting.
Can’t seem to find bars on their site, do you have a link you could share to see the bars, pricing and details? Thank you.

Is this a crazy idea?...

Nitto B135AA SSB Randonneur Touring Handlebar.....these come in a 39cm with 105mm reach and 120mm drop, which looks pretty nice dimensionally for a sprint setup.

Man, that's super narrow. If the reach isn't right, the elbows would be like sails out in the wind, right?

I'd like to find a track bar with long reach, but shallow drop, ideally. I'm struggling with the idea of raising the bar up to compensate for a bar with too much drop, by angling-up the stem in order...

I saw that 150 size listed for the Apto, but I've got no idea how to get a torque wrench on those inward-facing bolts. Sure it's an aero looking design, but for mechanical work, no idea what they...

Yep, agreed, and I also believe it's a good idea to try a couple of different bars and see what becomes the best combo of fit and aero. If aero is great, but you can't breathe, then the fit isn't...
