Looking for feedback on the Nitto Dynamic stem and Noodle handlebar.

Any thoughts on a CSI build with these?

Noodles are one of my favorite bars for all day riding due to the swept tops. If you spend a lot of time in the drops, the top corners tends to hit your forearms. Otherwise, a very handsome bar and should look great on you CSI.

Been wondering about the Nitto line recently myself as they seem to have more to offer to those looking for a polished silver finish.
Are there any particular shops (brick or online) that carry more of their line?

That is the bar I have on my CSi, along with a dynamic stem as well. Really nice bar/stem combination.

Rivendell sells lots of Nitto stuff.

The noodle bar is the only bar I've ridden that I can't think of a way to improve it. It's perfect for an all day bike.

Another vote for the Noodle -- it is my go to bar for most builds, really a perfect shape.

Noodles are my favorite bar, wish they made a 31.8 variant. Make sure you understand the width if that is important to you. The widths at the hooks and end of the drops are ~1cm and ~1/2cm less, respectively, than the typically advertised width (42 is 41 & 41.5, 44 is 43 & 43.5, 46 is 45 & 45.5, etc). I typically ride 44 c-c bars so initially bought 44 Noodles. Later replaced them with 46s.

Have not tried the Dynamic, but love the Technomic Deluxe. All Nitto stuff is high quality.

I love my 48cm wide Noodles and Technomic Deluxe. The pearl is a nice stem too if you don't need the height. I think they look great on classic steel frames.

The noodles will stretch you out, so you might consider a shorter stem. At least that's what I'm figuring out with mine. Normally ride a 120 tried a 110, most likely settle for a 100. The pearl(or something as nice) search continues...

Ok so Iam perhaps the only person who does not like the Nitto Noodle bar here is why. I had a 46cm while in the drops they were great, but I felt like it was too much reach to the hoods and then when I was on the swept back tops I felt like I was being pushed back on the bike. They just didn't fit like I thought they would. Overall quality is outstanding a strong and stiff bar I believe the 46cm are heat treated as well to prevent flex.

Nitto Technomic + Noodle + lugged steel = perfect combo

Crappy picture from my ride home, but I run my wide Noodles with the levers tilted inwards a little bit. Looks a little goofy but damn it's comfortable.
