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 [b]need[/b] 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.
