many people aim the bar ends at the rear brake, but i like mine more parallel to the top tube than that. it gives my palms more leverage when in the drops.
i've fallen in love with the classic cinelli design, the 64-38 bars. the width is perfect, and i love the shallow drop. i've now found longer drops are irritating to ride, forcing me to spend too much time on the hoods and tops. the problem with cinelli though is the difficulty in easily determining clamp size. so, what other bars have a similar geometry to the cinelli 64-38? should i look for nitto classics? what else?
