Strengths:    Great classic bend. Strong and semi-light at 250 grams.

Weaknesses:    None that I can think of.

Bottom Line:   
These are great bars. I just ordered another set for my old bike. I've tried different type bars over the years, and found the classic bend fits me best. The logo's wore some, but that was my fault, I put a set of aero bars on it. They seem to be strong and the weight isn't too bad. I ordered the shallow drop for my older bike--so we shall see how they work, the back isn't as limber as it used to be.

Strengths:    Lightweight & affordable

Weaknesses:    very flexy

Bottom Line:   
I have lots of Ritchey stuff on my bike & have been happy with most of it, but these handlebars are very flexy. When I switched from my older / heavier bars it almost felt like the bars were moving in the stem clamp. Kindy creepy getting used to the flexy nature of them.

Strengths:    They work like they should.

Weaknesses:    Hope not, could fall on your face!

Bottom Line:   
I like standard bend on bars. Every anatomic bar has been uncomfortable for me. They don't flex as much as some bars and don't squick like others.
