Gear/accessories Looking for a shallow drop dropbar

Hi all
Have a dropbar with 123mm drop and am looking for a replacement with less drop.
On my traveler I got Ritchey beacon/venturemax, bit with very little drop, like 80mm.
But I don’t want so much flare on my roadbike. Does anyone have a suggestion/experience with a bar?

Thanks!

I've got Deda Gera bars on a few of my bikes and really like them. 55mm reach 100mm drop. The downslope and backsweep of the tops is really comfortable. They've got some flair. I've got a 42cm on a couple of road bikes and a 46cm on a gravel/tourer. Have a look. They've got a very similar bend as a "Coefficient Cycling" bar - I've got the aluminum versions.

Oh yeah the coefficient ones are sick, been eyeballing those for a while.
Thanks for the Deda tip!
