I had not seen these before:
Soma "Bonzo" bars. 200mm of drop (30mm more than steel B123s), 120mm of reach (12mm more than steel B123s). In widths from 38-48cm. That all seems very impractical to me.

since hipsters just ride on the tops it makes sense.
reach curve and drop are just for looks.

These look soooooo uncomfortable to me. I love my B123s but won't be able to ride the drops too comfortably until I get a smaller frame. Bullhorns are where it's at for me.

you could even dent you TT with Oury grips all the way through the drops. but **** it NJS means beater to me anyways.

I had discovered these a few days ago. I don't care what you people say, I'm buying them... I have B123 (38cm) and I've always thought they were ugly. (but who can afford steel cinellis?) Plus I would like the huge reach and drop, I think. plus the somas are only $30.

they are ugly. a kid here has them. the bend (front) extends too far forward. the drop (down) looks fine. i base this all aethetically cause i've never ridden them. just sayin' is all.
