Hey guys I am a new cyclist and am looking for some advice. I would like to get new handlebars for my bike. I currently have a 57 cm 2006 Lemond Reno.

1. Does anyone know the stock width of the bars? I am 6'1". I think I have pretty wide shoulders. They feel a little narrow. How should I know what size to get? I rode my mountain bike (2002 Specialized Rockhopper) for the first time in a while and it felt really nice with the wide MTB bars. I dont expect my road bike to be as wide as the MTB but a little wider I think would be better.

2. I am looking for a pretty specific shape bar. This is the stock photo of my bike.



Here is a picture I drew of what I am looking for to help illustrate.



Ok so...

First, The light blue/aqua circle. I prefer to have that (whatever its called) parallel to the ground or at least the top tube.
Second, the orange line shows I would like to have the brake levers perpendicular to the ground.
Third, The grey line shows I would like to keep the brake lever as close as possible to the drops because I have fairly short hands/fingers.
Last, The blue line shows how I would like the transition between the brifters and bars. A horizontal line would be best.

I must say these bars are pretty close. Specialized lists them as "Specialized Pro, 7050 alloy, short-reach drop, ergonomic top shaping, 31.8mm". I might just end up with these although I only stumbled across them and would like to see if there is anything better for me or similar to these.

If you look at what my bike comes with you can see my dilemma. As set up in the picture everything is good except the steep drop when riding on the brifters which hurts my hands. So I can tilt the bars up but then the drops are awkward and it hursts my wrist. If I move the brifters up then I cant reach the levers in the drops.

I do not care about weight although light would be a nice benefit. No carbon. Aluminum or something similar. Nothing thats like $200. Under or around $100.

Any suggestons or pics of your setup would be great. Thanks!
