I just found that my wife's bike shipped with a handlebar that's 1-2 sizes too wide for her. She doesn't ride often, but she's been having discomfort and I'd like to get her a replacement.

I'm usually shopping for light/aero bars, but now I just need a low-cost, basic, compliant, carbon drop bar. I'm open to chinese brands.

Can anyone recommend something?

I put on her bike the Deda Zero 100 RHM, the size is outside so a 38cm will be 36cm c/c. It's alloy and way more compliant than any carbon bar I used. Around 230 240g. Great shape, easy to go down, low reach.

Ryet ones are also nice and have better reach and drop for smaller riders

The Prime Primavera bars were really nice and quite cheap, though with Chain Reaction and Wiggle going under I'm not sure they're still availible. I wish I had bought another 38cm for a project I have going.
