Deda Elementi Dritto Flat Handlebar - Silver, 26mm

I bought this along with the matching Deda stem. As a pair they look stunning on my steel frame and add a classy finish to an already elegant frame.Probably not the last word in lightweight components but who cares when they look this good. Some might not like the decals but I think they're fine.

Just feels and looks quality, fitted it to my polished alloy bike so sets it off a treat. Its hard to get straight bars most at this price are slightly swept up and width suits my size, very happy.

These are really striking urban bars, but a few things to be aware of.First, they are straight bars. Perfectly straight. There are no bends or angles at all - it's a dead straight bar.Second, they are pretty short. To the point where your brakes are only a few inches apart from left to right. It can make getting cable runs in a bit tricky, and make handling twitchy, but they're great for urban use and squeezing through gaps.Personally, I really like them. They feel like riding on the tops of traditional drop bars, and they are really comfortable to use.They also look very, very cool. The dead straight bars give quite an aggressive look to your bike, and even though they are clearly aimed to be used on fixies they still look great on any town bike. They are also very shiny, which is a great relief from the never ending tedium of black carbon fibre. They are anti-stealth.They are very rigid as well. You can really yank on these when sprinting to the lights or climbing up hill and you'll feel no flex whatsover.Great bars.(If you found this review useful, I'd love it if you let me know with a click below - thanks!)
