I am a long time user of the Deda 215 non-anatomic shallow drop bars. I can't seem to find them for sale anymore. I am looking for recommendations for a suitable replacement.

I have a road bike "designed" for fenders, but with short reach brakes. It's tough to make it work without seriously denting the fenders. I typically use Campy components, but was wondering if there might be another short reach brake out there that offered a bit more clearance.

Thanks in advance.

I've used Ritchey WCS Classic bars (135/82mm) and they are similar (Deda 215 135/80mm).

I've had good luck with finding the round drop 215 bars on eBay. I also like the Syntace Racelite - not quite ergo, not quite traditional bend.

what size fenders? I used Honjo 35mm fenders and they fit in my Campy Chorus brakes (pre-Skeleton) just fine. I can see that 40mm fenders would probably be a bit too wide.

They are Honjo 35's. The front is no problem, but I am really struggling with the rear.
