Backswept / moustache / alt handlebars

[wafter]

I like the idea of something a bit more ergonomic for the CdF than the pretty straight flat-bars currently fitted.

I can find quite a few "alt bars" listed but nothing quite fits the bill; with the most promising being apparently MTB-adjacent and longer than I'd like.

I'm after:

- Aluminium
- Black
- 31.8mm diameter at clamp
- 660mm or less wide
- Back sweep of 20-25 degrees or thereabouts.

I'm not sure about rise yet and would probably appreciate a bit of down-sweep... on top of that I'm somewhat open to novel shapes that offer more hand positions and mounting options.

An Orign-8 Tiki like this?

Son no. 2 has a chrome Nitto RM-016 version on his Carlton Corsa fixie and it's lovely.

What about butterfly bars ?

I have a bike with a Planet X "Mary" bar. It is very comfortable. I've added Ergon GP1 grips.
Have just checked, the Mary bar is now called a "Mike" bar, it looks very similar to what I have.

So has Mary turned into Mike?

Mods ! close this thread IMMEDIATELY
Thumbs up for the Mike bars. Found them very acceptable for easing my back pain.

I use Planet-X Mary bars, upside down to get a downsweep rather than the normal upsweep.

Much better than the straight bars they replaced.
