Classic Drops

[EddieBirdsell]

I know this topic has been discussed in the past ad nauseum, especially regarding the Ritchey WCS, but was hoping for some quick direction in finding some new handlebars.

I'm looking for:

silver in color
31.8 clamp area (though I'd consider 26.0 as well)
flat ramps
at least one cable groove
flat part of drops relatively long
44 or 46 cm width

Came across the Deda Speciale, which looks to fit the bill. Anyone have experience? Would likely be paired with a Thomson X2.

Thanks for any insight.

44cm Deda Speciale - I've got a new one you can check out or have for $25.

Sean, you the man. I'm slammed through Sunday, but I'll meet up with you early next week if it's good for you and check it out.

Though not 'classic' per se, Bontrager's VR shape is great, comes in silver, and can be had for not much coin. Pic below is Race VR in black.

Thanks for the pic James. I think I'm looking for more of a sprinter-style, flat bottom portion. I've got these Scott bars that came on a Klein I have that are just perfect and have long flat drops, but I'm sure they're not made anymore. I think the Deda Speciale might do the trick.
