    Is there anything with a lower rise (i.e. <20mm), but similar backsweep / upsweep?
    TIA

    Raceface Atlas is only 1/2″ rise, though might need trimming down a little width wise.

    Sunline Flat bar isn’t actually strictly totally flat, it’s just flush with the top of the 31.8mm bulge, so strictly it’s actually about a 5 or 6mm rise bar. Again would need trimming a little though.

    Or just buy a wide flat bar!

    RaceFace Atlas AM is 725mm wide, 0.5 inch rise, similar shape.

    Thanks people, I’ll have a look at the Atlas bars. Thought about flat bars, but obviously they don’t have any upsweep. Next question is do I need upsweep as well as backsweep? Probably only me that can answer that; I’m off to the garage to look at my current setup.

    Edit: Atlas will be a bit if a weight penalty over the Haven bars I’d imagine.

    @andy – if you’re after Havens, try bikewagon on EBay – they’re accepting Best offers – I got thirty dollars off the price below.
