Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I'm looking for a classic look. No straight lines and lots of curviness.

but if you can find cinelli's on ebay you can get bars in a wider size without sacrificing curviness... they have the most aesthetically pleasing curves, in my opinion, unlike nittos where the wider bars have straight flats.

However.................Despite the info on the website, they do not actually have them in stock on a regular basis, so ya gotta call first. Seems that they aren't intended to be imported to the US in that size. Sometimes a few slip thru the cracks. Anyways, that's how it was explained to me.
Older track bars from manufacturers like Cinelli and 3ttt are also nice 'n' curvy, but the Ebay prices on these are often prohibitive for me.

From: Might as well be underwater because I make less drag than a torpedoE (no aero bars here though)
One thing I like about track bars (particularly those 600 gram chromoly Nittos) is that they don't flex. https://www.yellowjersey.org/nitto.html https://www.businesscycles.com/tbars-nitto.htm

Road drop bars can be flexy in the drops....but what do you expect from a 200 gram bar?
