OK, black bars. I've had great luck with Richey Pro, Richey Comp, and I liked BioMax, but you have to run a longer stem because the bar comes back to you a bit. I've also used Forte Precision and Eleven81, but didn't like them as well..
BioMax is here in 2 pics, and they work well with modern frames, for some reason.
The Richey Pro works better, for me, in classic geometries. 3 pics.
3TTT has some very similar to the Richey Pro on sale a lot for 19.99 at Loose Screws. One of my friends bought 6 identical sets of the 3TTT for all his bikes, and he swears by them.
In my limited experience, once I get a bar I can handle, I then ride it for a few months and slowly rotate it forward until when I lower myself to the drops, the bars sort of "meet me." I ride 95% of the time in the drops, so if the ergo isn't right, the bars are no-go.
And I never could get use to the rando'd Ambrosios, but I'm sure it's because of the deep drop. It takes some monkeying with the fit.
