i think the silver is nicer than the arguably-better-shaped midge bar from on one which is drab/black. everything's a compromise so you sacrifice some on the hoods since they're at an angle, but for these applications i find it's worth it. the origin 8 is a great bar for country riding or fixed gears: the flare gives good leverage and control. Ummm.that 2nd photo looks very like the jitensha/nitto bar. Great for making a slower bike (mtn or city) faster, but otherwise I'm not so sure. The handlebars in the last photo remind me of DirtDrops, which some folks loved, but I have a hard time thinking of a use. The 2nd photo city bars look perfect with that stem. That second bar is similar to the On-One Mary bars that I've been using for mountain biking lately - very comfortable. And the Follis tandems arrived a few minutes ago.

So what sort of bars would you like to see Velo Orange sell?ĪLSO, We just got more VO Croissant and Baguette bags. The last photo is of a modern Origin brand bar I think we'll stock. The third photo is of a lugged chrome French Pivo stem, but this one is unusual because it's 22.2mm x 25.4 mm, not the usual French size. The second photo is of a bar I particularly like and am sending plans of it off for quotes. I'll sell the ones we don't choose to reproduce and have solid works drawings made of the best examples. The first photo shows some of the city bars in my new collection. I bought the whole lot with the idea of having reproductions of some of these old bars made. You'll be glad to know that you can buy your way into heaven, at least into handlebar heaven. There are old bars from Nitto, TTT, ITM, Atax, Belleri, Phillipe, etc. Over the years that's where they've tossed all the sample handlebars and stems sent by various European and Japanese manufacturers. It is the top shelf of a tall storage rack at a certain wholesale company. Note that these bars have a 25.4 mm center diameter for standard narrow clamps.Handlebar heaven is, as you would expect, way up high. The bars are 27.5 inches wide, making them suitable for a wide variety of riders, although the steel can also easily be cut down to shorter widths as needed. However, note that the steel material is somewhat heavy compared to similar aluminum handlebars. The handlebars are made from steel, which ensures that they are extremely sturdy and will last through years of abuse – and likely any crashes – on your bike.

In either case, these bars are best for short to moderate length commutes as the riser shape can become uncomfortable. A version of these bars with a five-inch rise is also available for tall riders who feel that higher rising bars reduce strain on their back. However, they do offer a second-hand position around the elongated U-shape at the center of the bars. The handlebars have just a slight rise of 3.5 inches, allowing them to resemble flat handlebars in their look in feel more closely. If you find yourself on a budget after purchasing a new commuter bike but need a set of handlebars that better fits your body’s width, these riser handlebars from Sunlite are an inexpensive and durable option. The handlebar itself is chrome plated steel, so you can expect that it will not dent or scratch even in the event of a crash. The bars are relatively narrow at only 24.5 inches, making this handlebar most suitable for a woman’s bike. The high rise design is especially intended for comfort, hybrid, and urban bike styles that feature a relaxed seat position and allows riders to hold either the ends of the bar or the area right around the clamp – whichever position is more comfortable. While the high 13 mm rise of the bar can be comfortable over short distances, such as inner-city commutes, it can get tiring to reach up to the bars over long rides. The U-shape of the bars is greatly extended in the center while the bar ends slope back towards the rider, reducing the degree to which you need to lean forward to control the bike. This simple high-rise handlebar from Wald takes the standard raised handlebar design and modifies it slightly to make it more comfortable for the vast majority of riders.
