You guys have given me multiple good handlebar suggestions! I think I will rule out the Specialized bars though, as they seem to come in black only. That's fine for the Breezer but for this bike, I really want silver. Looks like both the Ritchey Venturemax and VO Randonneur are both 31.8mm only

Oh, btw, for those who need to find something with absolutely the shortest reach possible (and are okay with black handlebars and a 31.8mm handlebar clamp), Specialized "Short Reach" bars have a 65mm reach! (And the rest of the lovely shape as the Hover and Shallow Bend handlebars...) They onl

I second Patrick's thoughts on the saddle position -- don't adjust for reach using the saddle position! Rather, get the saddle where you want it and then figure out how to get the bars in the right position. But, re. the Specialized Hover bars, don't forget that they feature 15mm of rise, while

Agree with Patrick on the seat setback, you don’t want to futz with that once it’s set where you need it based on only the saddle and not the reach.. And the Specialized bars are nice, I run those on two of my non-Riv bikes..
