Narrow handlebars

Post by David F »

Does anyone know of a source for narrow bars? I'm fairly slight, and I'd like some 38cm c-to-c by 26mm drops but my searches haven't turned up any with these dimensions. 40cm seems to be the minimum for normal road bars currently.
Thanks for any leads.

Ribble list a 38cm ITM bar (link) for £10 & possibly a few others I didn't check all the possibilities on their site.

Don't forget some makes (Deda for example) measure outside to outside so their 40 is the same width as an ITM 38.

Depends on what shape you want, of course.

Hi,
The other day saw some stupid flat bars on what might of been a road bike, a bit like O'brees.

I have an unused pair of these surplus to my requirements, they're been in my garden shed for past 10 years, still new in wrapper!

They measure up 36cm centre to centre, or 38cm outer to outer:
Weigh in around 270 grams on my dodgy kitchen scales :D
