Title says it all really.
I am building up a Salsa Vaya for commuting and touring, with a flat bar build.
I need 25.4 because my bar bag clamp won't fit on a 31.8 bar.
I am trying to an all polished/chrome build on an orange frame.
I can find a few with lots of sweep (On-one Fleegle, Surly torsion bar), but really I want to run stubby bar ends so would prefer something straighter.
Anyone know if such a thing exists? Titec used to make silver flat-trackers, but have only made black recently.
Thanks
Paul
Do the Titec Flat Trackers (black) come in 25.4?I can only find 'em O/S, I too want wide straight bars I can fit bar ends to.
25.4mm fleegles in hi polish silver at Onone for £20 and you might find the extra sweep very comfortabel. I do.

The best option might be to find a 'smooth anodised' (i.e. not the bead blasted type finish) black bar which suits your needs then strip the anodising and polish it up.
Got some surly nittos if you want them. Got them from Sam above!
So that's where they went - I was looking for them recently 🙂
Thanks Tang, but I'm in Canada, probably not worth posting. Maybe I'll try fleegle's from on-one USA for now.
Stripping isn't a bad idea. I just wonder if you strip off the ano whether the bare metal won't tarnish? I know people do it to frames but I've never seen one in person.

I stripped some element grey ano bars with some wet and dry and a scouring pad. 'industrial' would be the best description of the finish! I could go nuts to get a finish but it keeps the scheme going of you don't look too hard!
Tang, I don't suppose the Surly bars are black..........
High polish I'm afraid
the search continues..............
