Thanks, all. I finally forced myself to stop dithering and ordered a
MAP/Ahearne bar, black and 31.8. I fully intend to cut at least 2" and
perhaps 3" off each end, and I hope that this doesn't make too many people
wince. But 610 mm (the 31.8 comes only in this width; the 570 in 25.4)
ought to be
Patrick, I've ridden both. The Jones and MAP bar sweeps are pretty similar
but the Jones needs a shorter stem. I went to the Jones for more width. I
will say the MAP is a better looking bar and I know you don't want to spoil
your beautiful Monocog with an ugly handlebar.
On Thursday, February
Thanks, Tim; I considered the Jones bar but decided I'd like to try the MAP
or similar bar first.

Thanks. I've been eyeing the Daija Far bar, only 44 cm at the hoods, but I
think I'll try the MAP or a similar bar first.

Philip,
On my upcoming dirt-drop build I already have a set of Woodchippers, but
I'd consider using these Nitto guys instead. I'll be running a Paul
adapter for a SRAM trigger shifter. The Woodchipper has a long 31.8
section so there's plenty of room to clamp the Paul shifter perch along
Black 31.8 flared drops in either 52 or 58 at the ends. Hoods are much
narrower. I like the 58. I got a 52 at a great price from Analog, and
Candace said “you probably won’t like it if you’re over 5’2”. She was
right, at least with the Ritchey Force stem on the RoadLite. I swapped for
a 58 and
It's Joe Ramey, right?

[Sorry, forgot your name] -- thanks very much for the offers. I'd prefer
the Ahearn/Map bar if it's black and 31.8, so would be interested indeed in
knowing specs and your price. In fact, the A/M bar looks like just the
right "upright" bar to try for this bike.
Yes, narrowing the bar reduces
I also have some Ahern MAP bars which I am not attached to, as well as
possibly a couple others, but I am somewhat perplexed, because with just
about any bar you go with narrowing it substantially will in turn leave you
with minimal bar area for bells and such.
After years of accumulating stuff
I've got a SOMA Eagle bar I'm not using: not sure if it would work for you
or not
They don't presently make these: my impression was that they were reworking
the design and maybe coming out with a replacement.

Thanks, Joe. Three answers today, and you've made your quota.
Seriously, thanks, in particular for the insight about the Jones bar.

Apparently I'm the only one home and answering bar questions today so I'll
offer one more thought:
I've used Jones Loop Bars a few times and like the one longish position
they offer at the grips, but think they're overrated for other positions.
The grab-hold by the stem is useful for climbing
Thank you. Also close, but alas, per the photo, does not sweep back enough.
For some reason your post made me think of looking at VO's handlebar
product portfolio (bidniss speek, that) and the Dajia Far Bar (shallow 'n'
short flared drop, 44 cm at hoods), Granola Bar, and Curvy bar might
contend.
My bad, 31.8, black, it's Cinelli! 53cm, still narrow.
Thanks, Joe, I'll take another look (took a quick one). The 25.4 mm clamp
is not a deal breaker, but I'd prefer 31.8 (stem is 31.8) and black, so any
advice (y'all) about a similar shape but in fatter clamp and darker color,
please speak up.

You might like these Nitto Urban Bars they sell for the fixie/messenger

Sheesh. With higher and longer stem *and the right drop bar.*
