    Hi all – anyone have any idea where I can get some 36cm (centre to centre) width bars with long (100mm) reach and 130mm drop? Been looking for ages but can’t find anything that fits the bill. I’m already on a relatively long stem (130mm) so not sure if an even longer stem is a way to go.

    Thanks.

    I use 3T Aeronova Team bars which have a 127mm drop and 104mm reach which I’m a big fan of. I’ve got the 40mm wide ones, not sure if the made them as narrow as 36mm. They are narrower than 40mm at the hoods and then flare out a bit.

    The drop is do-able, but the long reach + narrow bars is hard.

    My Ergonova Pro bars are 38cm c/c, 90mm reach, 130mm drops.

    FSA compact bars (link to PDF) are 36cm c/c, 70-80mm reach, 120mm drops.

    Maybe get a 140mm stem. A Pro on theTour was riding a 150mm stem a few years ago. Does sound like your frame is a bit small – or your arms are even longer than mine yes
