700mm Wide Bars Minimum with 25.4mm Clamp?

Mudguard

Dirt Disciple
So I'm sorting out my old FSR DH, I have some incoming Dorados as I couldn't find X-Vert Ti very easily. Ironically the day after I purchased the Dorados I did come across some X-Verts.
But anyway, included with the Dorados is a direct mount stem, which is cool, but means I'll need to use the narrow bar standard. I would like to ride the bike occasionally and have no desire to put period correct narrow bars on it. But my hand has been forced somewhat by the stem. I don't have to use it of course, but is or did anyone manufacture 700mm bars or so in the 25.4mm diameter?
I've trawled the usual places but frustratingly 25mm is also a pretty common rise amount.
Ditch the old stem and use modern bars, or keep looking?
 
I’m having the same conundrum with my late 90s GT project.

I’ve ended up building myself a set of 4 piece risers.

Rise is 2” and the width right now is 1m so I can cut them down to what I want.

22.2mm clamp but easily shimmed to 25.4mm.

Look at dirt jump bars,25.4 is still a thing there e.g. Renthal jump bars which are 720mm wide (No longer made though??), NS Bikes, Gusset etc.

Cheers. Yeah high rise is going to be the downfall. As I said it's not the end of the world. I'll check those other brands.
 
I've had this issue recently and just persevered for a while; they do come up 2nd hand for sale fairly often.

People list them quite un-specifically which sometimes makes searching harder, so I did spend a LOT of time trawling the listings until I found what I needed.

Are you looking for a high rise bar? I'll have a rummage if you can confirm
Hi there. I'm looking for something pretty flat. The Dorados have 30mm more travel than I need so I want the bars as low/flat as possible. Cheers though.
