Drop bar add ons for flats....what do you think of these ?

[Mangizmo]

I ordered these from China that attach to flat bars and turn them into drops, just an experiment as I haven't tried them yet, but on the face of it they offer, drops as wide or narrow as you like, you can use drop bar brake/shifters, or flat bar shifters, or bar end shifters, you can adjust the flare by rotating the riser bars, in this case I also have top mounted cyclo cross repeater levers too (havent decided on those yet) what do you reckon ?

I don't think any of your bikes will be diminished by this set up - except for the Super Galaxy.

Fitted and on test, so far I like them

BOTM needs a new category I’d say - Riser- Drop bars

I am getting on well with this set up just an experiment at the moment but I will probably keep it, I have used linear pull Tektro drop bar levers for V brakes with cyclo X top mount repeaters and that all works great, drops are spaced at 51cm, time will tell

This makes my head hurt. At least with THM it was a joke (was it?!).

These are going to be the most famous handlebars in the land: https://forum.cyclinguk.org/viewtopic.php?t=155935.

'Practical albeit hideous...' pretty much hits the nail on the head for me.

Forget what the fashion folks say. It's a bicycle, it is meant to be ridden. Do they help you with the ride? Then go for it.
