Can anyone help me compare these two? I already run the Ritchey in a 40 CM which has a reach of 73 MM. The Cyrano Bull 40 CM has a reach of 75 MM, but a much shallower ramp to the drops, in fact from pictures it looks almost flat. My question is the reach measurement of bars is deceiving in that it's a tad irrelevant based on the shape of the drop section's curve and where along that curve the levers sit. The levers on a Bull ook like the sit pretty high. I'm wondering if in fact even though the reach listed for the Cyrano is 75MM if the effective reach to the lever hoods is shorter than the Ritchey which is 73 MM in reach, but requires a lever placement slightly toward the fullest part of the bars curve.
The Cyrano Bull in a 40 is nearly identical to the Pro Vibe round except the tops sweep in less aggressively and the OS section on the tops doesn't extend as far. Levers sit in the same plot. Neo Curve have a very slight ramp down to the hoods part way between a flat ramp and a Rotundo/classic bend.
Reach is really going to be too hard to measure/describe since I no longer have either bar, but never noticed much of a difference unless it drastically increases or decreases. A few mm shouldn't matter all that much.
