Hey Joey.
The first link didn’t work.
But the second link you posted are very similar.
The ones I got have a more flat top part coming out from the stem area.
I got these bars used and liked them so much I tried to track down a second pair.
I ordered some online but when they came they were the new “compact” version.
But they pictured the older ones I have.
I was pretty pissed and had to send them back.
After that I tried to get some from a guy I know who works for FSA but he said he couldn’t even get them and they were no longer made.
I kinda stopped looking but some other people have ask me and had no luck with their search.
So good luck with yours.
They are great bars.

When I get them I didn’t really know what I had.
But since having them I’ve seen them on other bikes and I guess they are pretty rare and wanted.
Jason Yim has or had them on his Kagero.
And Steve from TCB/Mash has them as well.

No worries dude.
We all start somewhere.I think mine are the 42s. Maybe 44s.I just know they are not the 40s.Check out the Easton EA70 Aero Ergo bars.Those things are the most similar to the FSA bars that I’ve seen.
Good luck and have fun dude!

I might consider those bars for now then
Are you really tall since you ride kagero XL?
I’m seriously puzzled what size fits me… i’m 5″10 / 5″11
Thanks mate !

I was just talking to Patrick about adding a new size today.
The jump from 55cm to 58cm is too much in my opinion.
I would like to see it go 55, 57, and 59.
We are gonna work on that.
I’m about 5’11-6′ and I ride the 58cm (XL).
It feels a hair too big.
But I think the 55cm would be too small.
I have really long legs so I can make the XL work.
And it rides just fine.
Look up the specs on the Kagero website.
Just email me with other questions and stuff…
