Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Round Bend Handlebar with shallow drop

Looking at these few round bars for my new frame, a shallower drop with round bend.

Rotundo - 139mm drop
Deda Newton Shallow 135 mm drop
Ritchey 135mm drop

Anyone knows when the Zipp Service Course bar will be out? I love the SLC round bar that my friend has, but i can't seem to find the depth of the drop. Any design coming close to it?

a shallow drop is a shallow drop. fsa energy round is a bit deeper at 145mm. specialized also makes a shallow drop. but don't be fooling yourself, the CF bars aren't worth the money

The dimensions don't tell the whole story... the profile of the Newton Shallow Drop is like a TdF bend, nothing like the 3t, which is more like a small Merckx bend. The latter being more of a 'round bend'.
