I wasn't really trying to be weight weenie, but that weight difference was too much to ignore.
If you don't care about weight though, it is a fine, inexpensive drop bar.
I actually figured I would buy a Hwy1 bar since it has to be silver. I have 3 of em, I think and like the bend so I thought that would work great.
Hwy1 bars are $90 now. Its a Soma Hwy1 bar...I just cant bring myself to say that is worth $90. I swear I bought 2 of em only 4 years ago for $40. Yes inflation, but still.
