Looking for some handlebars

[DaveyA]

I have been looking around without success for some bars for a bike I am building up. I want some that are the same as fitted to my Kona. The photos below will probably show better what I am talking about, but basically these are just the most comfortable shape and have a short reach. I have built another couple of bikes and have tried to achieve the same position but without the same shaped bar it is impossible.
Here you can see that the top of the bars are the same height as the hoods and do not project too far forwards

Notice how the levers are not too far forward .

They are standard bars that came fitted.

Older type bars and stem I know but this is to show what I am trying to avoid

The bars are in a better position but it shifts the levers too far forward. I have tried the bars and levers in various positions but it is never going to work. I need some bars that don't curve out so far before they drop down.

Obviously the Kona is a cyclocross bike, are most cross bikes fitted with this kind of bar?
I am not necessarily qoing to use a quill stem, thinking about an adaptor with a modern type of stem and bar, that should provide me with more options.
Grateful for any suggestions.

Deda do a nice compact bar like that

FSA Omega Compact is the bar you need.

Thanks for that.
They look like just the shape and size I'm after. I wonder if it is possible to get them to fit a quill stem, might be nice to have the option to retain the retro look if possible.

Fitted to my Van Nic

 

[woohoo]

FSA Omega Compact is the bar you need.

I'm very happy with my FSA Omega Compact bars but they take the width measurement at the ends of the drops which have a flare angle and that results in the tops being narrower than you would expect (Guess how I found this out). I had to go a size up compared to my other bars and they are fine.

(Note to self: Must sell "used only once" FSA handlebars !)

FSA Omega Compact is the bar you need.

Yep they are the ones. Either the Omega or the Vero models but as above, the width measurements are from the drops and on both FSA bars they are measured from there i.e - 44cm bars is more like 42cm in the hoods and 44cm in the drops.

Still, very comfortable for me with a shorter reach and drop. I use the 44cm and they are fine. Cheap too

3TTT ergonova also in this style.
