I think they missed a great opportunity not calling it the Nitto "Neato", but I guess American puns don't translate very well into Japanese. Anyone have an opinion of the quality of this bar versus the models sold by Rivendell? My "Neat" lacks the elaborate engraved crests of the Dream and Noodle.

BTW I just bought from Jitensha Studio a Nitto mod. 136AA Randonneur bar, with the very nice engraving like the Dream or Noodle. Unlike the Noodle bar sold by Rivendell, this is more the traditional randonneur bend. I have a couple of Noodles, and I like them OK for touring, but they do fell a little strange if you are used to traditional randonneur bars.
