Building up a new hartail for XC purposes and have always fancied flat bars but feel that 580mm will be too short, are there any good quality longer options available that may suit my needs?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Thanks very much people.

I think the salsa pro moto carbon is calling me, just got to work out what sweep and try and find a bit of a deal on a pair now.

Thanks again.

I got the Salsa alloy ones - pro moto. Nice and wide and you don't get people looking at you funny like you do with risers
