I need a narrower bar than what came with my Roubaix pro. Seems to be a bunch of new sexy carbon fiber bars out there. Bike is not raced, mostly long distance rides & the weekly group ride/paceline thing. I've heard a few good things about 3T carbon bar...any others? While I'm at it, I might throw on a lighter stem (90 deg 120 length) any ideas for the stem as well?

Just changed out my 3T Forgie for the 3T More CF bar. Also went from a 44cm to 42cm which is more my size. Love the new bar - really smoothes out the road vibration. Also notice the 42cm bar reduces the spread of my arms - also good. Got the 3T More on e-bay for half price.

I just broke my 3t carbon in a fall actually and im buying a new one. MY 44 seems a little narrower though than the bontrager 44 i had so if you are on the limits be wary they run a little small. Very stiff but im no sprinter.
