Is this the equivalent of a "Flop & Chop" Bar?

Just wondering if this would be the exact handlebars I would make if I did a "Flop & Chop" of my Drop Road Bike handlebars.

LEt me know!

No not exactly. Flip and chops usually aren't as "long" as the horns on production bullhorns. My flip and chops are comfy but the nasbar, profile, nitto, etc ones will stretch you out a little more over the bike.

I use both types for different purposes. I also like that on flip+chops you determine the amount of bar that curves up at the end. I like to leave a good bit so I can get a good grip when I'm down and aero and so I have something more to push forward against instead of having to grip the bar really tight.

nitto makes a perfectly flat bar that would be closer, but bullhorns will be longer. I think that I'm going to move to real bullhorns soon.

I am ordering these today- with the sale they have going, the price is unbeatable. h yeah, like everyone said, not quite the same.

It depends on what road bars youre chopping but no road bar chopped will look like that.
What bars do you have? maybe someone has done it already to the same bars.

I have those exact bars on one bike and "flop & chops" on another. The Nashbar bullhorns give you a longer, more laid-out position with a little drop. The chopped road bars are a shorter, more upright position.

flips are boring. get those sick nitto's with the dip in them
