I bought a pair of the Easton Haven Carbon bars following a PSA on here many years ago. I really like the bars and wish I'd bought a couple of pairs.
They don't seem to be available, so just wondering if anyone has found anything that's similar.

I did exactly the same but I've recently changed mine for a pair of Ritchey Kyotes so they're currently sat unused in the loft if you're interested.
Assuming they're in pretty good nick and not crashed to death, then definitely. I'll PM you, thanks
Easton and RaceFace combined with Easton focusing on road and RaceFace the off road. I guess that means RaceFace are the closest. Having said that, there are a lot more bars to choose from since Easton last made a riser bar.
I think my next riser might be a One-up.
Easton have a fairly 'typical' rise/sweep. Actually that's probably a bit unfair on them - I think they may have developed the rise/sweep style bar that everyone else later copied.
That is to say that most bars are pretty similar to Easton these days. 15 years ago you might have bought a bar that felt weird next to an Easton, nowadays I doubt I could tell in a blind test of several risers.
From memory those Havens are quite narrow by today's standards (711mm?), and quite lightweight with noticeable flex. I suspect even if you bought a current bar with the same rise/sweep and cut it down you'd find it wasn't as 'compliant'.
31.8 Haven was indeed 711. 35 was 750. 9° backsweep. If you are able to spot 1° difference, the Whisky Parts bar is a geometric match
I went from Haven alu to Chromag carbon bars which have a similar rise and sweep, albeit wider.
