This is how it should look!

Here is what I have now. I care a little less about flat transition, there is plenty of ramp area anyway to put the hands

poorcyclist, boots,
that looks awesome!
interesting that so many here choose the classic bend.

I always tell people that classic bars allow for more "dynamic positioning".
Yes there is a dropoff to the hoods, yes the hoods are further away- but for performance riding and racing that is what you want. You have a good 5 different positions on this type of bar.
If having the hoods feel like the tops is what is what you want- get a super small compact bar and run the hoods up high on the bars-

Using the ramps is definitely old-school!



SRAM recommends aligning the top of the hoods with the straight line on the bars, for a flat transition.

Here is the side by side.

I can't deal with FSA, if you like things pointing at a tilt than it is for you.
but I do OK with Zipp short and shallow, but TB for something I ride the most.
