I love the Soma Sparrow. Can be flipped up or down. Plus if you want to get aero you can rest your forearms on them. They are what I have on my MB.

I see a few sizes, do you have a preference or opinion on size for someone Elisa sized?

I tried both the small and medium and found that with my shoulder width the small was more comfortable.

I have a pair of VO handlebars floating around. I do remember they're 22.2 diameter but I can't remember if they're the left bank or the montmartre. Either way they're yours for $5 or a $halfwaydecentbeer

If those don't work, I've got a Soma Sparrow Small (I think) you can have for a 6 pack (or whatever.)

I think the sparrow is my first choice. Marley I'll give you a sixer AND these two salsa cages I've been hanging onto for some reason.

If Bo didn't snag these, I've got a ~70s road bike that I'm converting to a city bike that these would be awesome on.
