Dead straight handle bars

Does anyone know anywhere in london that stocks straight bars? I checked decathlon but they sold out

Otherwise most shops should have flat bars off those silly flat-bar road bikes.

what are those then...?

Hybrid/commuter/city bikes. Not all of 'em have riser bars. XC bars like the cheap ones posted above will be lighter.

Why? Just shim it. Could use a beer can or lay out for the fancy Nitto shims.

I got some nitto shims you can have

i think halfords do a straight bar for under a tenner?

good ideas gentlemen. unsure what a shim is, can someone explain it?

cheers

where can i funny coloured ones? i saw someone with metallic purple and someone else with metallic blue

A shim is a small piece of metal designed to increase the diameter/fit. The Nitto bars are 25.4mm and most road stems have a 26.0mm clamp diameter, so you need a something thats .6mm wide to fill the gap, a la a 'shim'.

The coloured flat bars are most likely mountain bike bars which have been cut-down, so go hunting in MTB shops. Again, MTB bars are most likely to have 25.4mm diameter (so you'll need a shim) or 31.8mm (oversize), which means you'll need a new stem.

damn !
I should have asked...wanted to replace my model 21 nitto by a straight one last month.
the girl in BLB told me its very difficult to get..
no I have ugly noname alu bar on that cost me 8 quid... 5more and it could have been nitto again grrr

This is what you want! sadly i dont have one i found this surfing the net.

380mm bar from a small company in Osaka, who make to order in 320/350/380mm in about 1000 different colours! The rounded ends are so cool...

im in love

they are the best ting ever, maybe even better than the shark bar/stem combo

They look like a dildo

exactally why i like it

its got me thinking about getting crafty actually

not with a dildo mind

they look amazing..

hah! that looks like the sort of thing a gay policeman would own.

it's taking pink far beyond decency

CG MARSHALL- who makes those bars!!

Continuing the dildo analogy. I guess the rain is going to act like lube, cause they are going to be a bitch to grip when there wet.

unless your hands are made of velcro.....(bill bailey,you know the rest)
