Nitto Noodle Mod. 177 Drop Handlebars: 44cm x 26.0mm - Silver

Nitto Noodles are by FAR my favorite classic drop bars. I prefer modern flared gravel drop bars, and the Noodle is the only traditional bar I'll install on my bikes. I can't describe them nearly as well as Rivendell, so here's a quote from them: "In all likelihood the Noodle Bar will be the most comfortable drop bar you'll ever set grubby paws on. The top flat portion sweeps back toward you slightly, bringing the bar closer, and the drops (lower portion) flare out four degrees. But the main thing is the ramp the portion of the bar immediately behind where the brake lever fits. The ramp matters because you put your hands there a lot, and if it's too steep, the support isn't there and your hands slide forward and down. On most bars the ramp is about 24-to-32-degrees, but on the Noodle Bar, it's a much flatter 15 degrees. When you tilt the bar back properly, so that the ends point downward about 10-degrees, that already flattish 15-degree ramp becomes 5-degrees, so even if your hands are slathered in butter, they won't slide down off of that."
