Koga-Miyata Selego Multigrip handlebar with
triathlon bar set and map holder.
The new Koga's Multigrip handlebar range is adjustable
to match the needs of its user. Height, reach and angle
can be individually adjusted to find the right position.
The map holder, also delivered as standard, can be
mounted centrally on the bars in easy view of the rider.
And below the bars is a mounting for handlebar bags of
all types.

These are somewhat similiar in case you can't obtain your first choice. I have ordered from Detours before and they are a good company to deal with.

I picked these up at Nashbar for $10..00 and added the Bar ends, great for lots of hand positions...:D

KLW2 what type of mirror is that? I have those same bars and can't find a decent mirror to fit!

It is a Rhode Gear (I think same as Blackburn), THIS (http://www.nashbar.com/profile_moreimages.cfm?category=&subcategory=&sku=2782&brand=) is the newer version although you can still find the round mirror at some LBS.

If you can't find exactly what you are looking for, consider attaching aerobars to regular drop handlebars. You would get at least as many hand positions.

I too have the Nashbar trekking bars on my commuter/tourer and I settled on a Mirrycle mirror:
http://www.mirrycle.com/images/main_original_mirrycle.jpg
To mount it, I drilled a hole through the bar in the middle of the outer section (about the same place KLW2 has his mirror). Then I went to Ace Hardware and picked up a longer bolt and nut to fit through the mirror stem and handlebars. I think it's a pretty good solution for the trekking bar, but it does stick out a little bit (careful squeezing between cars). :) I can take a pic and post it if my description isn't sufficient.
So, as far as I can tell, the Koga Selego Plus handlebars consist of the following:
- adjustable stem (I'll be using the threadless headset style stem instead of the threaded one that Koga uses)
- U shaped aero bar (connected to the stem)
- two clamps/blocks/stems (what is the actual name/term for these?) to connect the aero bar to the handlebar
- a bag holder drop-down bar (again what is the actual name/term for this part?) connected to the clamps above
- trekking/butterfly handlebar
so I am guessing that the above parts can be purchased, with the help and direction from some of you folks out there?!!
if anyone has seen any or all of the above in a store or online can you please post relevant details!
I'm stuck on the U shaped aero handlebars... can't seem to find the U style anywhere, they all seem to be either intigrated into the handlebars or 2 seperate aero clip on bars
anyway, any info would be great!

$136! Seriously, you could clamp some aero bars on the nashbar trekking bars and it would still be 1/6 the price. (Those do look really nice though, I have to admit!)

Not sure how you'd get a set of trekking bars and aero bars for $22.60, but if you can that's a great deal!...:eek:

BTW - if you order anything from Wallingford Bikes get some of that Gold Harrogate tea - its quite good...:D

- 10% coupon = $13
+ some $10 clip on aero bars from ebay or craigslist like these http://cgi.ebay.com/Easton-Aero-Force-31-7-Clip-on-Carbon-Aero-Bars-G163_W0QQitemZ270097312742QQcategoryZ27951QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
= about $23-30 if you're patient and pick them up locally
still... maybe 1/3 the price is more accurate

And speaking of extremely expensive handlebars, has anyone see or tried the Bontrager Satellite Elite carbon trekking bars, the ones that weigh half a pound and cost nearly $200?
