I'm thinking like Nitto B123AA/B125AA (IIRC) or the Deda drops.. I'd like classic deep track geometry/curves and the narrower the better for slipping through traffic. Aluminum for weight considerations. Used would be awesome but if there's any good deals for new please key me in! Thanks.

is there a particular reason you want the aluminum ones?

two things:

first, steel bars feel GREAT. i can't think of a reason to want aluminum over the b123 steel.

second, its unwise to string the words "cheap" and "aluminum" together like that. careful what you wish for.

weight. my bike has gained a few pounds due to some of the parts i've put on it, mainly the wheelset. the last pair of steel track bars i picked up felt damn heavy.

I don't like aluminum all that well, I have GB road drops and after awhile of bad treatment they have become distorted. Still functional but bent off balance

i have some modolo track bars on my iro. i like them quite a bit. they're sexy, light, have deep drops, but a shallow reach. they were 40ish from businesscycles.com.

I *just* got my box from Business Cycles last night with my B123AA, aluminum NJS Jaguar, and handlebar shims.

The B123AA are half the weight of the B123 cro-mo. My bike feels much more balanced, and noticably lighter with the aluminum in place of the cro-mo bars...

Those bianchi/deda chrome bars (not oversized) were on the bianchi site for $30, they might still have them.

...yep, here they are...
