Overall I am pleased. The glossy black finish matches my stem well, and the bend is very similar to my favorite modern bars. The only real downside so far is weight. I don't have an actual measurment, but it is notably more than a deda 215.
So I'm working through the details for my Merckx buildup, and the bars are keeping me up at night...
In this thread, I saw what looked like a Cinelli 64 on the Tommasini is that correct?
I also saw what looked like a Deda 215 on the Colnago, and now a Soma Highway 1?
Looking at the Ergo shifter positions, both of the Deda bars appear to be much more naturally suited for the Ergo's. The 64 looked like it needed to be tilted down about 5-10 degrees, and the Ergo's pulled back up the bar comparably, but I'm suspecting from what you said in the thread, that this wasn't really possible...
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks,
