Yes, FSA Wing Pro Compact Aluminum. I like them a lot, they are the shallow drop (125mm) and do not have a long forward reach either. As a result, they feel extremely responsive and the flat palm 'wing' helps spread the load a bit for my hands which go numb from Raynaud's syndrome. I also put the Fizik gel on the top part of the bar with cork tape. They are super compact and end up being equivalent to a slightly shorter stem. You feel supreme in the drops, shallow is the only way to go. Also, I'd get the widest ones, 144's.
