All the local shops around here have are narrow flat bars without any or very little sweep to them.

Help me out with some options.

1. Salsa Pro Motos
2. Niner Flat Nine bars - but that would require me to get a new stem
3. Bonty?? - which ones and how are they?
4. Does Specialized make a wide flat bar?

Other options:

1. Marys - really wanna try them
2. Fleegles - not sure about them.

Am I leaving off something obvious and of good value?

Cheers,

Mark

those mary's and fleegles are pretty cheap, why not give it a shot? if you don't like, you can resale no problem...i've heard good things about the first 3 in your first list as well.....as long as you don't insist on ti or carbon, bars are pretty cheap.....expirament!

Obvious? No. Good value? Debatable. Low, wide and comfy? Oh yeah! Good thing there aren't a lot of narrow trees around here. Custom Seven Ti, 710mm x 16 deg sweep. That's the sweet spot for me.

Those are nice. But way beyond my meager budget and too wide for some of the stuff we ride around here, especially my backyard trails!
