Anyone got these Nitto 018 bullhorns? They're the ones with zero drop. Just wondering if they're worth buying rather than chopping my own. Comfy?

Kinda of a pain to find a pair of bars with no grooves to chop these days but even buying some plain Nitto 115's (no groove) and flipping and chopping might work fine.

I tend to like curvy bullhorn bars without too much extension. I tried some Syntace 38mm with 0 drop and they had a little too much flat so I returned them. My hands like to grip the curves. Might even spring for the nice grey anodized finished with these although they might get covered with tape.

I got the 019's and chopped off the extension...i too liked the additional curve, or bend.

Profile aero bars (http://www.speedgoat.com/popup.asp?id=/images/products/HB1531.jpg&cap=Profile+Design+Stoker+Aerobar&fr=prod) could be another option

I rock these and they work nice for bombing down the carless flats and going full nut up hills.

i'll never love another set of bullhorns because nobody makes steel ones. some day i must chop and flip some b123s.
