So I just bought a used coupled bike that came with Dura Ace 7800, and some ritchey bars that make the hoods seem like cow horns.

So what bars do you guys know that work well w 7800 and give a flat ramp from the tops to the hoods?

Thanks.

i have pro vibe 7s round and the transition is good both in feel and looks.

but, that's just me. bar & lever placement/fit is very personal.

[edit: here's a photo of the DA7800 levers on the Pro Vibe 7S round bars]

and here's what they looked like (before setting final position, which was a little lower) mounted on a ritchey wcs carbon bar w/ergo bend.

FSA Wing Pro (compact bar). Low cost and excellent with DA.
