On-one Fleegle is superb and fits all those requirements

[url= http://www.carboncycles.cc/?s=0&t=2&c=94& ]Carbon Cycles[/url] handlebars are ridiculously light for the price.

I've had no problems with their carbon riser bars

+1 for Mt Zoom, not the cheapest, but very light!

Fleegels are 330gm, not light.

Ta.

Zooms were 150gm and £20 25 years ago...someone must be doing something better?

just bought some ritchey trail 2x something or others.

weighed in at 285grams, 740mm, 9degree sweep, £20 if you look.

i'll not claim a win here, as they're not light-light, but i think they're a good compromise.

Just bought the riser versions of these which weigh not a lot , allegedly and seem to have sold a few. This is the ebay version of the straight carbon ones. 351218348754 I wont get them until next week, so if there is no report by after next weekend, then I died by cheap Chinese carbon.

I have a set of canyon 720mm weigh 236g on my scales. Brand new, £20 if based in edinburgh.

Not the lightest, but im dubious that any non carbon bars that are that width will weigh much less

These are to go on a Brompton, so 540mm is more than enough, and they don't need to be strong.

Oh and they need to be 25.4mm :mrgreen:
