I'm intrigued: http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/HBOOBINGO/on_one_bingo_handlebar

Bullhorns which will take MTB levers. Anyone using them and got pics / reports.

I bought some and used them for a bit of my commuter. I liked the ability to stretch out my riding position a bit especially when riding into a head wind and having a different hand position.

But...they are too narrow for brake levers and gear shifters together. The flat bar section becomes really cramped if your running two brake levers and two shifters and I found it difficult to use the brakes effectively.

Probably better for running on a singlespeed/fixie but wouldn't recommend it on a geared bike.

I still have my bars so if you're interested in having them, you can for a fiver plus postage.

Edit: I've got pics online but can't link to them at work, so will sort it tonight if you want to see? ๐Ÿ™‚

I'd be running them on a singlespeed with hydro levers.

Presumably you bar wrapped them?

Some pics would be great if its not too much bother. Would be potentially interested in giving them a pop for that price.

Yeah wrapped them in bar tape (hideous zebra stylie pattern for some reason!). Had to remove it to get my shifters/levers off when I removed the bars so the sticky stuff is still on the bars.

Will post the link up here this evening.

Wish I'd read this thread about 3 months ago - everything )Oana54 said is true.

Wish the OS bit shrank to mtb bit quicker and that the bars were a little wider as then they would be great.

As it is, the shifter window along with brakes takes up too much space (mind you, even just a brake shifter is too cramped really. I'll keep it as is for a while, but I hope there is a mk2 out for me to shift to.
