Alright

I need some new bars.

Have deda superleggero but cracked them.

What are the latest carbon bars going around that I could replace these with? Cool and exotic is fine with me.

Cheers.

What do you want? Light? Aero?

After eurobike the new Deda SuperZero bar is defenately on my must have list.

Not bothered to much about aero, as I like to be able to grip round the tops when I am climbing.

Actually, I have just seen that Deda have updated the Superleggera for 2015... looks interesting and Wiggle have them 'cheap' (cheaper than retail, at least).

I think the Haero h145 is supercool. Looks great, lightweight and different

@Martin.F they look cool for sure. Pretty expensive though, with added international shipping. Over 100 Euros more than getting the new 2015 Superleggera. Appreciate the link to them though.

1cm deeper drop, added a bit of length to the end of the bars at the end of the drops, internal cable routing, and done away with the gritty clamping area surface. That is the visible stuff. I would love them to have beefed up the clamping area material too...

I can only agree. They're great bars. Got them on my Vial Evo: https://www.flickr.com/photos/103539683@N04/16589200022/in/album-72157650512336519/

ok thanks. I wish they made it stiffer too. Mine is very flex.

Well they very well may have made them stiffer. I agree with you about the flex; I made a thread about this last year.

I stumbled upon a sale at Pricepoint for the Fizik Cyrano 00 bars and paid $219, they are pretty light at 175 grams plus match my stem and saddle, just need the seatpost now.

Any weenie recommendations for a more traditional style of bar? I like them...a lot, but it seems a lot of the weight savings on AX, MCFK, even LW is probably from tiny reach and drop. I'm currently on Rotundo Team, I think they're about 210-220g. I'm 80kg, so some of the Schmolkes are out of the question.
