I found the information I have wanted to know about the Specialized Bars. An anatomic drop, short reach (79mm) and moderate drop (147mm), grooves for cable placement, graduated markings for easy lever alignment, and a broad, slightly oval top for climbing. I want a drilled or manufactured flat top bars for hidden cables, but the moderate drops was tempting. I still do not know which carbon bars I will purchase, but I know more than I did when I posted my question, and understand why the tops appeared to be smaller than the FSA K-Wing in photos. I am still looking for a carbon bar with a bit of a flare angle, and I realize bars are a personnel choice, similar to saddles and wheelsets,
