I have South of France (I think) Strata bars on my 48 Holdsworth very like the Maitland bars, I assume named after an old friend and rival (HUH!) Bob Maitland of the Solihull Cycling Club, also Louis Bobet in the 50s TDF had bars very similar, think other bars like are also called Tour de France bars, I also like to ride on the drops and he bars are very comfy, also good on the brake levers for climbing.
