Modern bar for 7700 group?

[Pegoready]

Nitto M151
Deda Piega 26.0
Soma Highway One

All great 26.0 mm bars that play well enough with quill stems* and look great/feel great with modern levers. I like riding a lot of old quill stem bikes and can't stand old school shapes and will not use a 31.8 bar with adapter either.

*depending on the shape of the quill stem and design I like to reverse the bolt against a coin or otherwise pry the stem open slightly to get around the bends of a compact bar without scratching anything.

This is a picture of retro-modern Nitto M151 bars, with cable grooves that I filled with bondo, sanded and covered with handlebars tape.
this particular shape is not available without cable grooves, plus I like the engraving.

Wish I knew where to find more of the long discontinued Shimano PRO Plt Round bars. With them you get a flat transition to the hoods and round drops that look great on classic steel bikes. Nice reach to the levers in the drops too.

Wait, mine are Vibe 7S, but still discontinued.

I gave up on my noodles and threw on some parts bin FSA omega compact. They work splendidly. Gonna just ride it for a while and worry about making it pretty later
