Silver compact drops?
I have a set of black Ergosum bars on my roadie, and a set of Aeronovas on my Little Wing. I really find both to be very comfortable. Does anyone make that style of drop in polished or silver finish?
I have a set of Ritchey Classic bars on my Cross Check and the tops and hoods are fine, but the drops are not as comfortable as my other bars, and I'd like to know if there is anything I could replace them with.

Also, Nitto M151F are available with a 26.0 or 31.8mm center.

I have some flat top handlebars that came on my Fuji Feather. I have removed them and put Pista handlebars on my Fuji now so I do not need these and I am willing to part with them. PM me if you want more info. Here are two pictures of the handlebars on the bike before they were removed.

[MENTION=163380]espi-JG[/MENTION] What do you mean by flat tops? The Wonderer Bar looks like it has a reasonable flat section, as does the Highway 1.

My bad, i should've been more specific about "flat tops". I meant ovalized tubes on the top section of the bar like fsa wing pro or 3t ergonova. I own both of those bars and love them but i need a similar silver bar for a new build. Any ideas?

that is a "classic drop" bar. i'm amazed at the amount of people that don't undertake what a short and shallow (compact) drop bar is.
jeremy, if i were you, i'd get a set of fsa wing bars and hit them with a polishing wheel. buff the black til it's raw alum. you will only need to polish out a few inches due to faceplate clamp and bar tape covering most of it.

That would be too easy and would eliminate confusing and bewildering threads like this on BF!!!

If I were going to just brute force it, I'd just get another set of Ergosums and buff them down. I'll probably go with one of the suggested bars here, though. I think there are some close matches.

Please think of this as a very small buffing job. Do not see this as YOU have to have all the equipment and do the work yourself which I am guessing you would not do... in order to accomplish this tiny little job.
