Alpkit spitfires are out of stock so any recommendations for anything similar. Nothing too flared 16deg maybe

Planet X Selcof Serrato 10° a bit heavy but available in 3 widths and £14.99 MrsPB wont ride Genetic Digest as they look odd so uses these and they're shallow drop so quite good off road.

My favourites are ritchey venture max

Have a flat top with a tiny back sweep and a reverse curve on the drop. Makes them more hand-shaped in more hand positions. :-bd

The Ritcheys are good, the Genetic Drove/Drovers are a bit less wierd.

Have Ritchey Venture Max waiting to be fitted.
After a lot of looking those are the ones I settled on.
Seem to remember a KTM being in the choice but couldn't get hold of one.
Zazen - nothing happens next this is it.

Very happy with Ritchey Veture Max.
The flare is pretty wide but not so radical as Midge bars.
If you are going through hell, keep going.

Has anyone used Ritchey Evomax? Do they share the same flat top as the Venturemax?
