what do you think will be wrong with the $30 ones? Cool kids these days don't run ergo bends, fyi. It's all about the shallow reach, classic bend or something

Skeptical cause most I see are over $100.

after having FSA bars. Once you've got tape on it....if you like the bend and width it's all the same to me.

Those dimension bars look sweet. I have anatomical bars on my current road bike. I'm not a big fan. I like to have my hands facing down rather than forward when I'm in the drops, and I can't get a good combination of that and comfortable hood angle with them.

Good luck finding them...out of stock everywhere. I called QBP here in MN, they don't have an ETA either.

They look to be a clone of the FSA Pro Wing Compact, with slightly less reach. Those were also out of stock most places I looked. Ended up buying them from an ebay store though, with no problems.

I've got a few sets of the cheapo Sette bars from pricepoint. Fit my hands nicely and work just fine for the few $ they cost me.

just my .002
BTW, I asked for a set of Deda Zero100 bars for christmas. You can check out those if you want, though you may find them online in one of two conditions 1. moderately expensive (60 - 90) but out of stock, or 2. ridiculously expensive (130+).

I've used cheap anatomical bend bars from Easton and Ritchey, and they both were good quality for the price. Neither fit my hands very well, unfortunately. Changed to Reynolds bars with a round bend, and am quite pleased.
Seriously, though, as long as the bars don't break, and aren't made of lead, and fit your hands, you can't go wrong.
