Kilo TT Handlebars

Just wondering if the bars on the Kilo TT have an indent like some other bars so that when you stick the brake cable under the bar tape it doesn't protrude as much

Is it pretty noticeable cause I want to run these handlebars with track grips but if they have a huge indent running along the front of the bars then I don't want to

I took the tape off the bars to put white tape on the bottom flat part of the drops (like track grips). Yes, there is an indent for the brake cable, but it isn't THAT deep. Also, in the middle of the flat part of the bar (where the stem attaches to) is actually like a shiny plate, and the part that comes taped already is actually a really dull looking brushed silver. It's hard to describe in words, but I'll take pics later tonight.

The grove is on the bottom if I remember correctly. I'll look again when I ride home.
