Pursuit handlebars
Anyone know some handlebars that are like the nashbar aero ( https://www.nashbar.com/bikes/Product...54_-1___202447 ) except in 31.8 clamp size? Looking for at least a 40 mm drop.

Stems can be had for cheap. Frankly, I'd probably buy a new stem to run with different sized bars(especially 26-31.8) rather than run a shim. Is there something special about the stem you have?

Riding like its 1990
Have airwings, will be installing them again when I have time to build the bike. Shorter commute leaves less need for road bars.

+1 on this. I have the Nitto RB021s and have the same gripe. I thought that these handlebars would be the holy grail of handlebars for me. Shoot, they look amazing, great shape, but no flat position unless you have your hands right up against the stem. Pursuit bars like this with a lot of drop curve downward RIGHT at the spot where I usually grip a drop bar...

It has a 50mm drop, it's not flat. It's not the most uncomfortable thing in the world, but it didn't take me long to realize I didn't care for them.

Ive got the nashbar, love the drop but I cant believe its 50mm, seems like much less. But then again im that jackass that has my bars tilted upwards a few degrees. Beware the nashbar is cheap for a reason. Flexes a bit and finish sucks.

These used to be popular but they stopped making them:
