I am in the process of getting a Thomson stem to go along with my seat post. I am choosing Thomson for the combination of light weight and strength. I have them on my off road bike and appreciate their build quality. What road bars are equivalent in the same combination of weight and strength? I currently have Bontrager stem and bars which flex when I hammer on them. I think I could also benefit from a more traditional drop, one that is shallow as well. When one says Thomson, what is the equivalence in road bars?

Here is a picture of the bike.

They're heavy in comparison to other bars, but the FSA Wing Pro is as stout as it gets. It also has a larger surface for your palms when sitting up on the bars.
