I’m looking to add an 80s style riser bar with sweep to an 88 Rockhopper, mainly for clearance when carrying my son in a front mounted child seat, but still keen to retain a period look.
It need to be 600+ mm width as a minimum, with a nice bit of rise and some backsweep, perhaps 25 to 45 degrees? Also needs to be 25.4 mm and without a support brace as fitting into a closed loop stem.

Most offerings on ePay are disappointingly narrow. I just can’t seem to find anything that looks ‘just right’.

Any recommendations welcome.

Hot damn! I’m sold on that bar by description, but hot damn she’s pricey at £70. Nice link, thanks
 
Re: Re:

Nittos are fab but pricy. Nitto always seem to get it just right somehow.

Great link, it’s hard to sort the wheat from the chaff given the photos but a really interesting selection of bars at good prices.

Agree, have been checking out those good value bars. Some pairs seem worth the punt but am wondering if not quite wide enough in most cases.
