Yeah, I really like them, too. The drop is 125mm compared with typical 130-135mm drops. I now often ride in the drops just for a change in hand position. With my old bars, I would only use the drops when it was necessary. The 80 mm reach is a bit short for Campagnolo shifters, which aren't as long as Shimano shifters. These Omega bars are cheap, but they are heavier than the other shallow drop FSA bars.

I put in a 10mm longer stem to go with these bars.
