any Alu suggestions that are light?
Also still looking for a bar that has a narrower bar top section?
Zipp I'm still not sure on..very expensive and 3T had reports of flexing.
thanks
Reynolds haven't made bars in about 5years, there pro round versions (not ouzo pro) were extremely light

Thanks stella-azzurra...interesting suggestion.
dont seem to do a 31.8 bar though and most i found are in silver.
Nice weight though!

3T Prima comes in black painted aluminum and they do not have 31.8.
Check on ebay there is a NOS "3TTT Less 199" for 165$

Oh c'mon, surely it is
a little wrong, right up there with taping your bars all the way to the stem and mismatching socks
