I like my Ritchey Biomax bars quite a bit.



As you can see they have a little bit of a rise and backsweep which is nice for a riser-like feel, and the drops are pretty shallow and comfortable to be in. I have them set up with road levers (Cane Creek SCR-5) with the right as a dummy lever. The only thing I don't care for is the fact that the flat part of the drops is really short.

I guess the short version of my advice is, if you like how your road bike feels, set your fixed gear up the same way and don't worry about the fashion police.
