Just got these new drops!! Really like them and find them pretty comfy, they’re a bit narrower than my old pursuit bars. Bit torn on which look best on my current setup?

stem
Regular bull horns with a -17° stem would get you nearly identical riding position with a more usable bar setup that would look WAAAYYY better.
I personally hate drops for the road without bar tape or at minimum dummy brake hoods or road brakes that had the lever removed, bull horns are better for street riding than that.
You’re dropping down but your stem is going brrrrr…
Deda bars are nice but I’d still suggest some good bar tape. You may want to take the bike to your local bike shop for a fitting. Changing bars often means changing your stem to get the right cockpit. You are further forward in pursuit bars and lower in drops, so you may need a new stem for a proper fit with new bars.
