Available for about $10. The problem with hacksaws on drop bars is that you can hardly hope to get straight cuts. This tool clamps on to the bar, and rotates a blade in a perfect circle.
On the curved section you will draw a spiral on the handlebar, also yo don't have enough space to turn it trough the bend in the drop.
So hacksaw it is (can be an electric saw if you are precise with it)
