Just got a 19" Rock Lobster Team Ti but the fella I bought it off is 6,4" so the bike has long bars..(690mm bar end to bar end). Was looking at getting something a little narrower as i'm 5,11 on a tall day. Lookin at something light, strength not really an issue as I wont be jumping or dropping from heights, at least I hope I wont. Seat post is a biggy too so could probably save a few grams getting a shorter one. think he said the seatpost was 390mm both easton. bars ea50 seatpost ea70. probably be looking to sell if I get hold of some replacements.
any recommendations. like the eastons

Fitted Easton MonkeyLite SL's bars to mine. Also a KCNC ti Pro Lite seatpost.
The bars aren't the cheapest,but the seatpost was a bargain (£55 ish) lighter than the Easton EC90 which is £100+

These are flat bars, you realise?.
I ran a pair on a hybrid a while ago, they were cheap of ebay also! I didn't have any complaints, but it was just on the road.
Different riser bars have different shapes, if your not sure you could play with a few at your LBS and maybe try and get a feel for what shapes you like?

i've no real preference with regard to flat or risers to be honest.

As light as Thomson, just as well made, half the price.
