I'm trying to find resonably priced, say up to 35 notes, wide, around 620/630mm, flat bars that will fit a standard stem but will also allow bar ends to be fitted, but having much luck.

Can anyone point me in the right direction.

thanks,

Rob.

How do you get on with the sweep, I looking at the other ones with only 5 degrees

I ran a set of the 5deg last winter. Loved them. Just feel like a big flat bar (which they are).

Had a few brief shots on the 11deg, feels more like a riser, but without the rise.

I'd highly recommend either.

Oh yes they do a 5 degree too, hadn't noticed. I don't find the sweep a problem, I had some Eastern bars before with a 5 degree sweep and they felt, well too straight really and certainly too narrow.
