Default bars and bar-ends

I'm looking for a lightweight bar and bar-end combo. Anyone have any recommendations? The bars must be under 150g, and the barends under 120g.

The Ritchey WCS seem to be very nice but I'm having a problem with availability (shopping in the UK), so any other suggestions?

There are a bunch of good bars for under 150 grams. I have used the Richy WCS before, it was good. I also recommend an answer hyperlite, and I have been using a syncros. Anything made from easton EA70 should be good. Bar ends are really personal choice. Some bars recommend that you use a certain kind of bar end, because the bolt patterns have to be centered. I like onza bar ends personally, because they leave a lot of room for your hands. However, they aren't recommended due to the bolt-on pattern being off center... anyway, hope that helps
