Wide, light, flat bar...

Does such a thing exist? I can't find anything over 600mm (except a humongous heavy downhill thing) and I'm wanting 660mm really, I don't need the extra height of a riser and I find them engineeringly offensive.

Besides - bar-ends on risers? Not likely!

Oh, cheap, light and strong, please... :twisted:

I've been looking for weeks and I've just found the Salsa Pro Moto, just what I'm looking for :oops:

Umm, I'll leave this up in case anyone else is looking...

The stem on my Proflex is part of the front forks which is a bit of a restriction to say the least. When risers first started getting popular I fitted a pair of 680s, sawed them down to 600 and refitted my bar ends just so I could sit a little more upright.

It wasn't long before I was caught by the fashion police :oops:

You trying to bankrupt me, Ben?

Chain reaction's looks good, not so sure about the $260 superhero flying-vee thing though, maybe when I build the super-light cruiser

I should have thought of Salsa straight off - less than half the price for a lighter, wider bar, or less than a quarter for 40mm wider and just 20 grams more. Just not convinced by Ritchey at all.

Umm, which is not to appear ungrateful for the links, I am, honestly :!: :oops:

I would really like to build a super-light cruiser, now I think of it...

Kick 'em in the shins and run away - this will definitely work because knee pads are cool now, not full length shin pads...
