Not sure who makes the best bars, but I do like bars with a bit of heft on the top, preferably with a flat section for me to rest my forearms when riding solo. Also, I like a short reach and shallow drop.

Anyone try the Ritchey Streem bars either carbon or alloy? I am interested in flat top bars for some additional comfort on my hands, and these look enticing. Been a while since I looked at Ritchey bars, had some older alloy bars many moons ago, did not like them, as the size were too large, but might give these a shot if the OD of the drops are not as large as they used to be.

I agree with you, I actually like the old Cinelli round bend bars without the "ergonomic" bends in them
