White Riser Bars

Hi All,
I'm looking at getting some White riser bars for my White 2009 GT Avalanche 1.0.
The bars on the bike at the moment are perfect fit and I feel comfortable riding with them, I was just wondering what you guys thought would be an ideal replacement in White for around £30.
The current bars on the bike at the moment are;
GT Mtn Riser, 15 mm rise, 6061 heat treated, 31.8 mm clamp.
Also if I could buy from ChainReaction that would be a bonus, as I'm looking at getting a couple more bits from there.
Cheers
Scott

You don't mention width (on of the main factors to the 'feel') , or if you want them for XC or harder riding, but these are the closest I could find in your budget:

I'm not sure on the width as I'm at work and recived that specification from the internet.
I wont be using it for XC mainly for crosscountry/road and Thetford forest at the weekends.
Thanks also, they look good0 -

XC is cross country
And the ones M&C linked to should be just what you need.0 -
Another option:

They aren't exactly XC bars but yours aren't superlight either.
13g heavier than the FSA, with 20mm rise and 680mm width. (there is always the hacksaw)0 -
I thought that once I posed lol.
I basically ride on single wood tracks with some dips and jumps, the old railway track which is more smooth with only a few dips etc. Then I ride on the road when I need to.
But at weekends I hit the black route at Thetford which is single with jumps, dips etc etc.
I think the first ones suit me better but some more idea's would be great:)
I also don't mind sticking another £5-£10 on my budget if it's worth it:D

If so, there not White lol.
It's between these;

Which are lighter but 20mm shorter than my standard ones.
or
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=31137
Which are heavier than the FSA one's but same length as my standards
Or any more suggestions?

You'll be surprised at how good a job you can do with a rattle can though- I've used satin black to freshen up old parts in the past..0
