I have become an increasing fan of Nitto's handlebar offerings after being, for all intents and purposes, fairly ignorant of their modern bars after seeing the (seemingly generic) stuff from the '80s that looked like everyone else's classic drop bars. Well, that and the Noodle, of course. I am also a huge fan of the shape (and resulting comfort) of Criterium bars, and still have one 42cm example. The bead blasted new era Crits don't have that visual flare, and I don't know why Cinelli did that either. Oh well, another bar from Nitto to put on the "buy some day" list!
