Hi All

I'm looking for a handlebar with the shortest reach possible. Meaning the distance to the hoods.

The catch...I'd like it in silver.

I'm familiar with the Nitto Noodle, but that actually has a relatively long reach

Looked at the Salsa Cowbell and Cowchipper. That's the kind of reach I'm looking for. But black bars wouldn't look right on this build.


Grateful for any suggestions!

the short ramp types were developed because Brifters got huge, in order to house all the shifting clockworks.
Lots of companies supply the OEM market, that is the volume buyer..

You are in LA? and cant find a shop there? Poor Boy, too many choices..

I could go to My LBS and ask them to order stuff they may not have in stock, & the town has just one,
you have hundreds of bike shops in Metro LA.

Soma Highway 1 bar is short and shallow, sold in silver. Reasonable price. Highway 1 Bar | SOMA Fabrications

Thanks, I hadn't seen those. The Salsa Cowbell has a 68mm reach, that Soma bar is at 75mm. If I can't find anything shorter in silver, that might just be the ticket. Thanks for the reply!

Ritchey Classics are nice 73 reach/128mm drop
