Isn't the Nitto M136 the same as the Randonneur? I really like my Nitto Randonneur, it has flared drops so your wrist don't touch the side of the bar and it provides more handling leverage which is important for touring with a load; and it has a bit of flair bring a part of the bar a tad closer to you on the tops which offers a slightly different hand and reach position thus more hand position options. Also the Nitto Classic bar has a slight outward angle to the drops, not as much as the Randonneur though but more then a standard road drop bar.
