"Bought these to replace the wing compact version that came with my bike as standard and am very pleased. Unlike the compact version these are the specified width at the top and bottom of the drop (the compact are only the specified width on the bottom). They are more in keeping with the shoulder width and keep your chest open on both the long climbs and the shorter punchy ones.
Good and comfortable selection of hand positions availableand the ergoshift controls can be easily accessed when in the drop unlike the compact version.
Glad to have made the investment."

modern with a foot in the past

Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, Adjustable, Good Fit

"There may never be a road bar to equal the Cinelli 'Campione del Mondo', but the FSA traditional road bar is very good. It is very comfortable in all positions and super in the drops. The bars are shallow enough to give a fluent transition from tops to in the hooks, but still roomy enough to be comfortable right up in the bend. Like any good traditional bend there are a few options for your hands in the drops, depending on your effort and plenty of useful positions up on the tops. Combined with the FSA SLK stem they make a stable and classy looking combination. The bars seem to be well made enough to give a good innings."

Great alloy bars

Pros: Great Value, Lightweight

"I didn't want to break the bank on handlebars so I gave these a go. When I received them I was surprised to feel the weight. These were literally slightly lighter than my 2008 EA 70 STEM! Really light. On the bike they perform well, in the drops a smidge of flexing but not a noodle. They are actually quite stiff. If you're looking for alloy, try these out."
