I’d like to change the bars on my hybrid bike to make the position more upright. The reasons are to make it easier to see around me, to have a higher point of view and to make it more comfortable for cruising around at a lowish speed.
I’d like to have bars like this:
Or maybe this:
Velo Orange seem to be the place to go but are the parts ‘too nice’ for what I am wanting. Tried the local bike re-use centre but they didn’t have anything. There’s the Left Bank bar, “a bit wild” at a full 49cm wide.
Or the Montmartre bar, a narrow, 42cm center-to-center item.
Any thoughts on this? Compatibility is the main issue I’m concerned about. I’m a bit of a need to get calipers to actually measure the bars maybe.
