Trying to get my gf comfortable on her bike (80's peugeot) and want to try out some different bars - we've tried drops without any great success and some quite narrow swept back bars. I was wondering if anyone had any straighter bars kicking about, or bars with less sweep or wider swept bars? Some ideas below, any offers appreciated.

Cheers

I have a spare 60mm silver alloy one coupled to 25.4mm risers & foam grips.

Any good?

Two options here - https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/275341/ - either of them yours for a fiver. Pick-up in Brixton or London Bridge.

Happy with £10 for it.

I can also chuck in some (crap) brake levers and inner/outer cables in the deal.

I am in Stoke Newington now btw

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
