We will be in touch
building a rigid knobbly tyred bike for touring and what used to be called rough stuff, tho i think the current term is bikepacking. looking for some swept bars, don't fancy full on dropped bars cos i'm putting hydraulic brakes on, or bar ends cos i want to be near the levers as in flat bar mode. thoughts?

The term is touring.
i love my salsa 17 degree bars.
Same bars that you would normally use for riding a bike on singletrack.
The bars that you're used to.
I like the [url= http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/HBOOOG/on-one-og-handlebar ]On-One Og Bars[/url]. Comfy, reasonably wide, reasonable sweep, and only £20.
Mary bars.
Cheap and very comfortable
Mary bars for me too.
Lovely hand position for me.
Weatherspoons; Not always swept though 😀
On one OG carbon bars turned upside down so they're almost drops.

I run upsidedown Mary bars on my commuter 🙂
jones loop bars
Bars with a straight wide section in the middle for strapping your sleeping bag too.
And cheap so you can afford a really nice, light, small packing, warm down sleeping bag.
On-One El Guapo's fitted the bill for me.
On-One OGs and Fleegles for me. I prefer the OGs - more swept and more comfy.
Woodchippers.
jones loops bars.
i may have a nearly new pair to sell.

You can get a dropbar that will take your hydraulics. Satori Minotaur aka One23 Bullbar - uses normal mtb bar diameter.

It's a shallow drop, which I like. Very close to a real Old North Road bar.
