Handlebar recommendation??

[jhcakilmer]

I'm looking for recommendation for bars...I've seen several guys using the round bars, and am considering them. I'd need a deep drop, and oversized clamp. What make a model do you recommend. I'm a pretty big guy (6'3" 210lbs), so weights not a huge deal.....Thanks!

Check the Oval bars. Also, I believe I've seen some Deda round bars with a deep drop.

[jhcakilmer]

can you recommend any from personal experience? Why do people like them?

try a not so expensive traditional bar and find out for yourself

the nice thing with a round bar is you have more hand positions

than w/anotomic and they allow you to reach the brakes better.

Not to mention the look proper as all hell.

I ride ritchey classic because i'm a cheap sunnofa*****.

Its not a perfect bar but 90% to perfection.

I think you can get Nitto round drops for like $30 bucks if you want cheap. The only rub is that they are Ape Hangers, 100mm. x 150mm I think?

Other than that Deda Deeps 95x145 or Shallows 85x135(?), FSA or Ritchey fall kinda inbetween them in the reach/drop dept. I Dont know about Ovals bends? FYI the FSA bars say they measure the same as Deda but the bend on them actually shortens them up a bit in both directions(reach/drop). Deda's are my fav.

I looked at the Oval R701s, but I couldn't find them for sale anywhere, but maybe I didn' t look good enough.....

Jason, I'll bet if you asked nicely ATMO would hook up with the ovals. ;)

Get either those or Deda deeps...
