same here. i need new bars that i can cut down to at least 23". i have slim bars right now that are 21" and i think they're perfect like that. i just bent em so thats why. the bottom is straight but when you look down at em, the whole top is bent to the left and the bottom still looks straight in my stem. would odyssey milk or skim milk bars be good for me? or are there t-1 bars that are as narrow as slim and milk bars?
(just posted this in here cuz i don't wanna start a new thread about the same thing)

Do you ride flat? Because that's what those are designed for.

i have my own style. it incorporates everything, but i did my research, so dont worry about me.

Alright, but I'd recommend keeping a close eye on your wrists. The low amount of backsweep that those bars have will probably jack them up; I know that my Castillos did that to me.

It means "to end up with recurring sprains that require you to wear wrist braces from time to time" according to Webster's.

i'm in so much pain so much of the time, that the little bit extra from broken wrists, and junk will probably be bearable. Webster's rocks.

the fit edwins are good bars but the are heavy, if not go with the terrbile one, terrible bars.
