Merckx looks good.

I'd like to point out (to most everyone), because I'm seeing it in every one of these posts, that short reach bars are also your friend in the bringing-the-hoods-closer game. Those are some properly vintage long reach bars I'm seeing and they are doing you no favors, to say nothing of, honestly, having a nice, comfortable bar-to-hood transition that your palms would like. Having the lowest valley of your palms (the part right by your wrists) "upended" by a classic drop bar coming in at an angle (relative to your hoods) effectively lengthens your reach. As a few of us have shown, Soma Highway One's look great on a C&V steed and you gain reach/comfort and hand comfort all in one go. [MENTION=173992]non-fixie[/MENTION] has the trifecta of solutions going on--short(er) top tube, shorter stem (per proportion relative to height), and brake levers run way up on angled up/back bars. Hanging brake levers far forward on classic drop bars makes for poor comfort.
