After riding around on my old roadie for a while while I was lazily taping up new bars and adjusting my newer bike I remembered how much I prefer the huge drops over the new short and shallow compact ones I've got on everything else.

So any opinions out there about drop bars with a ton of drop that happen to come in a 38cm width? Something like ~80mm reach 150+ drop is what I really want.

If it's that narrow, track bars come to mind, in size 37, drop is 148, reach 82. But might be too narrowly angled for brakes.

can't put brifters on those airfoil track bars.

think Deda measures their bars outside to outside so i'd suggest Deda newton deep drop bars in 40 cm (should be closer to 38 cm then)

Deda Newton deep drops. Tho it has more reach that you'd like, I doubt you'll find a non track bar with that much drop at 8cm of reach.

I'm good with longer reach (just have to get a shorter stem), I just don't like how similar the hoods and drops positions are on these compact bars, the deep bars are just more versatile (for me).

I'll check out the Deda bars, thanks.
