Wanted: Handlebars : Please look

Posted on
  • I am looking for set of handlebars similar to those in the picture below. Looking for something with a similar shape and width, not bothered if the stem is directly attatched.

    Does anyone have a set, or know where i can get one from?

    Cheers

  • how narrow do you want them?
    34ish?

  • Charge Plug Racer bars are similar, as are Soma Major Taylor
    They do look nice, but not very comfortable to ride.

  • Try the Soma Major Taylor.

  • And you only needed to post once.

  • yes, 34ish would be ideal.

    Sorry about the double thread

  • just had a look and saw 38's on Hubjub, do they come any narrower, without me having to import them from some mythical land?

  • I think nitto do 36s.
    But why so narrow?

  • you could get some narrow ones like that from a bike jumble but they are a terribly uncomfortable design and i wouldn't trust any vintage bars unless they were pristine. soma major taylors are a great comprimise imho - i am gonna run them on this years l'eroica bike i think

  • 36's would be ideal. Trying to create an aesthetic - and also 36 is the width of my hips (/widest point on the bike). Where can I get 36 Soma Major Taylors from?

    Cheers for your help guys

  • hilarystone has some south of france bars on his handlebars for sale thread
    http://www.lfgss.com/thread34873.html

    (58) South of France shape aluminium bars 22mm clamp, 37cm wide £45

  • not too bad - just a little much given that i can get a new pair of 38 Soma Major Taylors on Hubjub for £42

  • I have some charge racers i will sell if you want the cheap option. They have that very nice profile you want - PM if interested

  • +1 for the charge bars looks wise. I found them uncomfortable too but they are that shape.

  • i have a set of 40cm major taylors going. because of the flared shape the usable top area is actually quite narrow. i'd take £20 for them.

  • The charge bars have a nice shape but are not as deep as track drops

  • tokyofixed do some a similar shape in 36. cant remember the name though.

    the width of the handlebar should match or close to the width of your shoulder, not hips.

  • I find it worrying that his hips are wider than his shoulders....
