Agree with Joe about the Mirrycle MTB bars. Just a great mirror. For drops, I've used the German mirror, Italian Road Bike Mirror, and the Rene Herse one. The Rene Herse one is a bit fiddly to set up and is small, but once it's set, it works fine. Has the advantage of going into the bar end and not under the bar tape. The Italian Road Bike Mirror, once set up, has a larger viewing area than the Herse, and I like it a lot. The rub is that it either goes under the bar tape, in which case it can shift when you're wrapping the tape, or it goes on top, and you have to use electrical or extra bar tape to secure it in place. The German mirror has the largest viewing area. It's not as elegant as the Herse or Italian. Tom Milani Alexandria, VA
