    Are there any recommendations? I have 38cm on my road bike and had just regular 38cm road bars on my last fixed gear. Are there any specific brands that supply this size that are recommended for riding track or will regular road bars do fine for a relative newbie?

    Nitto b123 come in 38cm, and they're fairly popular when it comes to track because they're NJS etc.

    Realistically though, any road bars would be fine. Track drops tend to be shallower, in the hope of getting you further down to level out your back.

    Most pista bars are deeper rather than shallower. It's whatever you feel comfortable in, but you'll want something that doesn't flex. I'd agree with above on steel bars. I've managed to flex even Deda Pistas
