Looking for handlebar suggestions
I'm looking for a new bar, something with a shorter reach and maybe a little more compact than my stock Bontrager bars. I've ridden a couple bars including a easton ec90 slx ergo pro, and the ITM lite Luxe wing.
I really liked the ec90's but I'm not willing to spend $200 + on handlebars, I liked the ITM bars too but wasn't in love with the angle of the wing and the reach was too far.
I am looking for some suggestions of similar bars in the about or sub $100 range.
Preferably something with a 75mm reach and a ~130mm drop, could either go wing or no wing and would prefer something with a more traditional bend and no real goofy ergo stuff.
Thanks!

I use the Ritchey WCS classic bars, 135/82mm. Also have a set of deda newton bars with the classic bend on another bike and they are pretty comfortable too but i cant remember the measurements. Best that i can remember the ritchey bars were reasonably price.

just be sure you like using a 46cm c-c before you buy those.
