[#1111010]

Almost finished tweaking my NEW BIKE and want wider bars than I have. Med to high riser, to fit an OS clamp. I don't want weight weenie stuff but would rather avoid lead piping. I have orang utang in my genetic past. Cheers.

easton [s]ea90[/s] EC70 monkey bars are great IMO.

Just put your hands in the right place and they go quite wide (660mm-685mm)
I'm 6'4"

how wide at the shoulders though?

Would you really want more than 685mm?

I know some people do 700mm plus, but that's got to be daft 😉

I recently bought Sunline V3 bars in a sale (2 pairs for £30) and they appear to be pretty good. 711mm wide, high rise and come in OS clamps sizes.
