I have read reach measurements from 90mm to 110mm and Nitto lists them at 95mm. There are not many choices when it comes to silver bars, especially polished silver. I'm also considering Cinellis if any model will provide me with a flat ramp. Another posibility is Deda 215 in silver or a Ritchey Biomax in silver. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I *THINK* the reach is at the longer end, closer to 110, but is compensated for somewhat because the bar sweeps back from the stem to the bends. So while the reach is relatively long from the bends forward to the hood position, that starting point is pulled back by the sweep of the bars. Making it functionally more like a 90 or 95. I don't know the exact figures, but I know what the bar looks and feels like.
