Aero Drop bar options?

[325racer]

I'm starting a new road bike project and am looking for Aero drop bar options.

This is a modern build on a vintage steel frame and want to keep it NON-Integrated (ie. separate stem)

I already have a set of Aero bars from Light Carbon their HBR05 on an older Ti bike. https://www.lightcarbon.com/full-carbon-aero-road-handlebar_p100.html



While I like these bars, I'm looking at other options that are out there. I also really like the Bontrager bars on my Trek Madone, but those are $$$$. Something that has the step/cut for bar tape to blend smoothly into the aero surface like this would be ideal.

I'm loving these Balouge bars I got. Super cheap about $60 for me.

I can second that brand. I have two different bars from them and both have been rock solid. Easy routing also.

Interesting? Any other options, those bars are a bit more aggressively shaped than I'd want. This bike is a vintage steel frame that is getting a modern build out, so those are a bit to much.

I have these Ullicyc bars, they are also branded as The One Aerobar

They are good quality, around 260g in 40cm size, not super aero aggresive... Only thing I did not like was the angle where new Sram E1 hoods ended - I like the hoods horizontal with transition to bars, with these the hoods ended pointing up a bit...
I swapped them now for PRO PLT carbon bars, as I like their shape better... you can check them as well, with JensonUSA discount you could get them for around $170, they have a bit more classic shape (230g)
