"In the catalog from our wholesaler the measurements for drop run from 136-160 and for the reach 65-105. "

Mark. Within this range what would be considered "normal"? That is if you indiscriminately went to 50 shops and bought 2 sets of bars at each, Without specifying what you wanted and in a medium price range, what sizes would you likely end up with? And, more important, how difficult is it to find bars with, say, a 136 drop and a 65 reach. I would love to have the least drop and the shortest reach on all my bikes. Any suggestions as to brand and models. Anyone else have some input?
