They're very generous in every dimension. Lots of reach, lots of drop, wide, lots of sweep, maybe even a touch of flare iirc. I've come to like the 42cm wide Nitto 135 bars a lot and theyre far more compact.
Building an MB-1 with the Soma GR 7cm offset fork - think it should use these bars.
The max width of standard drop bars I typically ride is 42cm. The 135's look a lot like the old Sakae Randnner/Randonneur bars. I believe they measure width at the drops. What is the width of the 42cm Nitto 135 bars at the tops, if you don't mind measuring?
