Need Handlebar Recommendations

Bontrager makes a bar with a 125 mm drop for a 26.0 clamp.

Becky, I don't know that Ritchey is making the Biomax anymore for a 26.0 clamp size. The only Biomax I could find on their website was the Pro--which requires a 31.8 clamp. Perhaps the standard Biomax is still available, however.

Indy, I think that you're right, but there's still a fair number out there for sale.

Cool. Admittedly, I only bothered to look at Amazon (which said they were out of stock).

It's too bad Ritchey discontinued it though, as non-oversized bars are getting harder to find. Deda has stopped making my bar of choice (Deda 4 Girls), but I have two sets of them, so I hope to be covered for a long while.

Indy, I hear ya there! Finding a bar for my classic quill stem bike was a ridiculous effort, and it's only going to get worse....

Thanks to everyone - I will call the folks at Bike Friday and see which bars they can get (since they've said they'll order them and split them before sending them to me).

Am still open if others have ideas

It is interesting to me why components change for no reason that seems apparent to me.
