I'm looking for something similar for a century bike/country road rider that I'm building up. The nitto randonneur seems to be everywhere as does the noodle, does anyone know if either is comparable to the old schwinn bars?

Any thoughts on these from velo-orange: http://www.velo-orange.com/mogrfoha.html

Thanks!
The bar you liked sounds like the Nitto Randonneur, still available from Rivendell. I have one, and really like the narrowness combined with the flared hooks.
