Bikes: Looking for my next rig. :(

I am a stickler for a good bar/hood combo. About seven months ago I was given a set of FSA Wing Pro Compact (White) bars from the Road Product Manager at my former employer. I was used to riding alloy bars as I don't prefer carbon, and I've tried anotomic, belgian drop, traditional, deda newtons, you name it...i've probably thought about it or have put some miles on it.

I will never own another bar. Granted, this bar suits me for several different reasons. My saddle/stem drop is already low enough-deep drop bars put me in too low of a position. I am 6'2" and have a natural 'flat-back' position so when in the drops, I don't need to be too, too much lower than when I am on the hoods. Because of the extended drop shape there are many natural feeling positions for your hands when you are taking a longer than usual pull or off the front. and the top-hood transition is perfect for campy, new dura ace and especially SRAM.

I recommend everyone try this bar at least once. I'll never own another.
