Some people like clubmans, but I've got a set of clipons from ebay. They're just generic 35mm clipons.

run a search for "clubman" or "clip-ons."  You'll have more than enough info to make a decision.

I had clubmans, just switched to clip-ons.  more adjustability.

clip ons... articulated ones. gives you many more positioning options.

another vote for clip ons.

 I'm short, with a 3/4 inch thick board for a seat I still can't put my heels flat on the ground,(more a problem with bike width not height) and the clubmans are a pretty long reach
 look good, but too much of a stretch for real comfort.

Clip ons? Clubmans?  Come on guys "Ape hangers" are the only way to go

Funnily enough Webby I got my Tomaselli Clubmans from ebay for a pittance, just because they were fitted upside down on the guy selling them's bike, he'd assumed they were chopper bars and advertised them as such

Short guy, short arms, I'd have to sit on the gas tank to reach them. Besides with the cafe bars and seat I can rest my gut on the tank
