Light and stiff enough, perfect anatomic shape.
Discontinued model
This model is discontinued, but if you can find one in the parts bin of your LBS or on ebay it's worth considering. It's quite light for an aluminum bar (~230g) and stiff enough for most riders. I weigh 180, ride it with a steel quill stem, and have never felt a bit of flex at the bars even when hammering in the drops. The beauty of this bar is really the shape. It has a shorter reach to the hoods and a deeper drop than most anatomic bars on the market. That means you can ride on the tops, hoods, or in the drops with equal comfort. A subjective judgement, I suppose, but I've tried other anatomic shaped bars and this one works best for me. I keep a couple spares on hand for any future bike projects. Like a saddle or shoes, if you find something you are comfortable with, stick with it.

Light, anatomic, strong. Stealthy Black. Very neutral in shape, drop. Good choice of positions.
Narrow clamp portion, dwarfed by my monster Thomson stem. No more room for mounting aero bars (must be creative).
Great Bars, no nonsense or gimmicks, one piece extruded, butted design.

light, stiff, comfortable shape on the hoods or on the drops. definitely worth buying.
they just make you ride for hours!! a bad thing? probably not.
This is a really good confidence giving bar. I really noticed the difference first time out, sprinting on the drops up hill or on the flat. The front of the bike became a bit lighter when pushing to the top of a hill. The smaller with also gives then a nicer feel, and you can throw the bike around more. In my opinion the with is just better.

I was a little worried about using such a light bar, but after many hours and kms spent on it, I should admit that everything is OK with the Nerve.

Light weight, good build quality, unusual tubing shape in drops is very comfortable and the bend, reach and drop work for me.
Cost
With my small hands, the TTT was was the best fit in terms of reach and drop but the bottom flat part of the drops was too short. The reach on the ITM was a little too much while the Cinelli is nearly perfect. Dual grooved for those who care. As an STI user I fill the back one with silicone sealant.
A nice bar that's not widely used. Too bad.

good feel. Hands are very comfortable in any position. used an off the front neoprene tape and made it even better
Can't say there are any
If i get a new bike this bar's coming with me. Riders with average hands are comfy with this bar.
