    Almost finished tweaking my NEW BIKE and want wider bars than I have. Med to high riser, to fit an OS clamp. I don't want weight weenie stuff but would rather avoid lead piping. I have orang utang in my genetic past. Cheers.

    easton ea90 EC70 monkey bars are great IMO.

    Just put your hands in the right place and they go quite wide (660mm-685mm)

    I'm 6'7" and have to get 38" shirt sleeves 🙁

    how wide at the shoulders though?

    Would you really want more than 685mm?

    I know some people do 700mm plus, but that's got to be daft 😉

    I recently bought Sunline V3 bars in a sale (2 pairs for £30) and they appear to be pretty good. 711mm wide, high rise and come in OS clamps sizes.
