After deliberation and much trying out of bikes, I have determined that I would be happier with a shallow drop, classic round bend handlebar. I would also enjoy a wing top. It should be inexpensive too.
The only bar I've seen that has all of this is the FSA Wing Pro Compact. See: http://www.competitivecyclist.com/ro...3_28_TRUE.html
Only one problem... I love my 17 degree rise stem, but it has a 26.0 clamp, and the handlebar only comes in 31.8. The simple solution is to just bite the bullet and get a new stem too. However, this is absolutely not going to fly with DH. Even a new handlebar is pushing it. I do ride fine with what I have... not like I'm in pain or anything. This is definitely more of a want than a need.
Soooooo... thought I'd ask all you brilliant ladies if you know of a classic bend, shallow drop bar that comes in a 26.0. Much Googling has gotten me nowhere.
Thanks!
