My opinion is this bar design is brilliant on a number of om top shape to sharp bend at the lever clamp which promotes a flat transistion to the hoods.referred to by some as the ramp of the bars to the hoods which for me is critical for palm comfort. Rad has them on his sweet Orbea with older style Campy levers as I recall. After Christmas, I will try to find this thread and post a picture or two with the newer Campy levers. I will be mounting mine with Campy 2009 Centaur Ergolevers. I too ordered the 42cm because I prefer a narrower bar even though these bars ride a bit narrower than they are spec'ed. I just received my new FSA Winged Compact bar as well though am out of state on business so will be a while before I get them mounted.

If anyone has questions about them feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer. I also think if you're smaller like me then you will love these. I think if you find yourself a bit uncomfortable in the drops these could be worth a try. The carbon version is much more expensive but it is lighter. I found the bars to be plenty stiff but I also know they might be considered portly at 260 or so grams. If you like a lot of room on the tops you will want to order one size larger then normal because there isn't a ton of room up there. I really enjoyes the 'wing' style tops when climbing and surprisingly I'd say I prefer them to a more traditional round top. I spent more time in the drops yesterday than I ever had before. I did a few quick in the drop sprints and had no isses with wrist contact due to the bottom of these bars flaring out about 4 degrees (pic below). The 'wing' style top is very nice and I'm glad I taped it because it would have been too thick since I don't wear gloves. I was able to 'flip it' to compensate for the shorter reach on the bars and the hoods felt just right. My reach to the drops was very comfortable and I no longer felt really hunched over. Once I was able to get on my bike yesterday I immediately knew these were for me. The tops of these bars are 'wing' style and I wasn't sure if I was supposed to tape them but I figured what the hell and taped them. I found the bars easy to set-up and putting the brifters on was a breeze due to there being not ergonomic bends (it was a PITA to get them off the Ritchey bars). As soon as I got home from work I began the installation process. When I received the bars I was amazed at how different the shape was. I ordered the 42cm instead of 44 because I felt my Ritcheys were a bit wide. For what it's worth, I'm 5'4 and my Ritchey bars were a 'normal' drop which I believe is 145mm. Additionally, when I would try to stand and sprint in the drops my wrists would contact the top of the bars. When I was in the drops it wouls also feel like I was kicking myself in the chest because I was so low. I never quite felt comfortable in my drops and therefore found myself regularly descending on the hoods which was very tiring on the hands. Before using these bars, I was using a bottom line Ritchey bar that was 44cm in width.

I recently purchased some FSA Wing Pro Compact bars and finally got to ride them yesterday (50 miles with 5100 ft climbing).
